Understanding donation management
Charities, non-profits and other membership organisations that regularly receive donations or membership fees are likely to receive them from different sources. These are often paid by cash, cheque, bank transfer, or through a donation platform. But the management and tracking of the source of these payments can be a very time-consuming process for finance teams. Donation management presents several problems to finance teams and the wider organisation with several different platforms to check, multiple finance processes to follow, and time-consuming reconciliations in the finance system.
- Are your staff spending vast amounts of time on repetitive tasks such as extracting, manipulating, posting and reviewing transactions in the accounting system?
- Are your senior finance users and stakeholders losing important visibility over the finances because they’re using more than one system?
