We are currently running a matching challenge campaign in which a constituent household will be matching various donation amounts from other individual or household constituents. Donations will continue to be counted toward the challenge up until the maximum amount. We will receive the full matching amount once the challenge is met and not throughout. The problem we can't seem to wrap our heads around is being able to credit all the constituents involved in order for the donations to count toward their memberships. Essentially the money has to count toward memberships twice: once for the smaller donations and once for the bigger, maximum donation because it's coming from a donor and not a corporation/foundation.
What we'd like to know is how other people have approached matching challenges in the past. How did you credit all the necessary people involved and how did it affect their memberships? Alternatively, how did you structure all the gift entries for the matching challenge? Any and all tips would be helpful even if our event varies in type from yours.
Thank you!
Thanks for the response. So did you not give the individual donors credit then? Since it was just one matching contribution entry?
