When we process an in-kind gift, it reflects as a "gift" on the contributions tab, and looks as though actual money has been posted on our reports. Is there another way to reflect in-kind gifts so they show as what they are?
Diane,
When we receive a gift in-kind, our Campaign and Fund structure is what we use to denote in the record that it was not an actual contribution; however, it still shows up on the Contributions tab.
For example, we have a whole Campaign that is FY17 Inkind and it has Funds like Corp Inkind, Fdn Inkind, Ind Inkind, etc. We even have one fund that is Inkind Donated Tickets to capture all of our tickets that get donated back to the Box Office because a patron couldn't attend any show in that production run.
As far as I'm aware, however, these gifts will always show up on the Contributions tab (and you want them to, since even though they aren't cash/checks/credit cards, they are donations to your organization).
When it comes to reporting, however, you can always specifically choose only certain Campaigns or Funds in a Fund Activity Report to omit those gifts in-kind from your reporting. You could also use similar limiters when building a List to omit any gifts in-kind from how you pulls a List of constituents with a certain level of giving if you don't want their in-kind donations to count.
Thank you,
Brian
Thank you!
Thanks!
If entered through the Contribution Entry Process, in-kind donations will always show up at “Gift.”
We process ours through contribution entry and assign it to an IN-KIND Campaign, Appeal, Source, and Fund. That way, one of those assignments should appear on many of the reports we would process. It also makes it easy to include or not include In-Kind in our list pulls and extractions. The Contributions screen on the Constituent record also shows almost all of those assignments on the screen, and the Full Bio report includes them as well.
If you do not want it to appear as a gift, you may need a custom set up within Attributes to track in-kind. But then you would have to remember to look in 2 different places for their TOTAL giving history.
Thanks,
Marie

did you ever get a response? my question is how would a typical in kind transaction be reflected on the GL summary report, more simply what gets debited and what gets credited, is it a debit to an in kind GL expense account and a credit to a same named in kind income GL account?
When I worked with Tulsa Ballet, we had three GLs for In-Kind giving:
Only the Ind In-Kind - Unrestricted and Corp In-Kind - Unrestricted were actually tied to a Fund in Tessitura, however.
