How to Report on Soft Credits?

Hello! Our Major Donor officers have a scheduled Fund Activity Report where the list currently acts on Owner (the other option being Initiator). Since creditee is not an option, a large soft credit was not included in the report. Are there other reports that anyone uses to identify new soft credit gifts that have come in?

  • Katie, you could try using the New Contributions Report. That does have a section for including Creditee type.

  • Thanks, Colleen! I will try this. I suspect that the issue with how they're using the Fund Activity Report is that they're attaching a list to it, which limits the results, e.g., when you attach a list, then you can only choose OWNER or INITIATOR (creditee is not an option) for "List Acts Upon". I think if they just DON'T include a list and maybe just cross-reference their list against the results of the report, then they'd get all contributions to their selected funds (within their posting date parameters) including any soft credits.
