Hello Development folks,
Our organisation is in the process of setting up an Elevated Event for an upcoming Gala that is both a fundraising event as well as an auction. Part of the ticket price is a tax-deductible donation towards a particular fund that supports emerging musicians. The problem is, that particular fund is already tied to its own general annual campaign.
Is there a way to associate this existing fund with the newly created Gala Elevated Event?
I understand the reasoning behind why one fund is associated with one campaign however was not sure why an Elevated Event couldn't be set up so that donations received can be attributed to an existing fund that is tied to another campaign.
Perhaps I'm setting this up wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much,
Katherine
Hi Katherine,
I don't think there is a way to associate the fund in the manner you mentioned without ending it's association with the annual campaign.
My suggestion would be to set up a new fund (with the same GL numbers) to be used with the elevated event. That should keep Finance happy and you can report on the combined Event and Annual giving through Tessitura GL reports.
