Any tips on how to identify contributions received via TNEW?

  • The first and most important question is "How do you take contributions in TNEW?".  There are two ways: direct to Fund or On Account.  We do the latter, and then our Gift Processor transfers the money into a proper contribution later.  I think we've always relied on the trail of transactions to identify contributions that had TNEW as an origin, and that's a bad decision, as it is extremely difficult to do so.

    If you take contributions directly to a Fund, then it will be easier, as discussed above.

  • On account I think. Unfortunately, I cannot confidently answer that most important question for several reasons:

    a) We no longer take contributions via TNEW. We moved to another vendor in May 2019 and I didn't start this job until July 2019.

    b) The previous DBA left this job in April 2019, and no one currently on the staff can tell me how it was set up back then.

    I think I may have found what I need though, using the channel field. I have no idea why I couldn't get this right last week, but I was able to figure it out this morning.

    Thanks everyone,

    Ashley
