Good morning!
I was curious if any institutions have started a campaign on Facebook or other third party sites. If so, how do you record your gifts? Do you record the amount in one lump sum to the third party/Facebook Tessitura record or enter in each individual donation to their constituents' records? On Facebook, we are only able to retrieve the donor's name, which isn't enough to record a new record for our institution. Let me know what your institution has done in this situation.
Thanks!

Broadway Sacramento- When we weren't on Facebook Payments and the contributions were coming through NFG we handled as usual for NFG gifts. Now that we're using Facebook Payments, we enter a Source naming the Fundraiser. For example our most recent was "COVID Emergency Appeal- Facebook P2P - Duncan" where Duncan is the fundraiser's last name. Then we use that Source to record a gift for every person in the file, usually with "unknown" address info. If your org doesn't allow that I'd say a lump sum entry would work with a Note of the donor's names. HTH.
