That said, we also record honor/memory gifts as mentioned above, using a creditee type for each, "In Honor of" or "In Memory of".https://communitytest.tessitura.com/topical_groups/fundraising-development-tessitura-community/f/discussions/35604/assistance-with-tribute-memorials-honorariums-and-listings-please/92401Fri, 05 Apr 2024 18:40:00 GMTfd08b0f2-65fa-4b2b-916a-cce3e88b61d0:6a100ef8-8fbc-469e-a3ca-bcd32cd7edfeJonathan WysongThat makes sense.

Using the example in my original post, would I then do the following? Record the gift on William Abrams' account and do a soft credit (with a type of "In honor of") on Teddy Abrams' account - is there a possible problem of folks who aren't constituents? Do I have to choose a constituent or create one if it doesn't exist in our system?https://communitytest.tessitura.com/topical_groups/fundraising-development-tessitura-community/f/discussions/35604/assistance-with-tribute-memorials-honorariums-and-listings-please/92399Fri, 05 Apr 2024 18:28:00 GMTfd08b0f2-65fa-4b2b-916a-cce3e88b61d0:0b215b08-0d8f-418c-83d8-37d8e4d2bd74Laurel QuaintanceOh - and when we moved to Tessitura, we took the opportunity to move away from the format you have above (which for us was an easy canned report in Raiser's Edge previously) to just move to a list of all the honorees . Example: Gifts were made in memory of: list of names, etc. We do this for our Annual Report and our lists were getting larger and unweildy and we are moving into a Campaign so looking a these kinds of things make sense to us. Also, it keeps the name lists that go to surviving family members discreet.https://communitytest.tessitura.com/topical_groups/fundraising-development-tessitura-community/f/discussions/35604/assistance-with-tribute-memorials-honorariums-and-listings-please/92398Fri, 05 Apr 2024 18:27:00 GMTfd08b0f2-65fa-4b2b-916a-cce3e88b61d0:6bac36d6-c868-4e48-b386-18e87b2719e2Jonathan WysongThat's probably most helpful - thanks.https://communitytest.tessitura.com/topical_groups/fundraising-development-tessitura-community/f/discussions/35604/assistance-with-tribute-memorials-honorariums-and-listings-please/92397Fri, 05 Apr 2024 18:23:00 GMTfd08b0f2-65fa-4b2b-916a-cce3e88b61d0:1ab79047-86e4-44e3-b4de-1ae58d0f9f56Anne M RobichauxDo your tribute gifts go to a unique fund? You could use fund in your output set and then filter by the fund that the tribute gifts go to. But we do what Laurel Quaintance posted above for our tribute gifts.https://communitytest.tessitura.com/topical_groups/fundraising-development-tessitura-community/f/discussions/35604/assistance-with-tribute-memorials-honorariums-and-listings-please/92396Fri, 05 Apr 2024 18:21:00 GMTfd08b0f2-65fa-4b2b-916a-cce3e88b61d0:cfb11bf1-feae-4087-917d-c55509295b6aLaurel QuaintanceHi Jonathon, We use Contribution Creditee and creditee types of in honor of and in memory of. This makes it easy to pull the donors that made gifts and links them to the tribute.https://communitytest.tessitura.com/topical_groups/fundraising-development-tessitura-community/f/discussions/35604/assistance-with-tribute-memorials-honorariums-and-listings-pleaseFri, 05 Apr 2024 18:17:00 GMTfd08b0f2-65fa-4b2b-916a-cce3e88b61d0:e8c322eb-cd69-448c-9ef8-e940eb20b0e4Jonathan WysongHi all, We have been recording tribute gifts using an appeal called LO FYXX Tribute, with each source being a separate "in memory/honor of...." Next week, I'm going to need to list our tributes out in a way that looks like the following: In honor of Teddy Abrams Mr. William Abrams and Ms. Karen O’Leary Assuming that the "in honor of Teddy Abrams" portion is the source description, how can I export the data that links each gift to that source? I am used to doing a list where the criteria is a specific source code in order to produce contact information for families (notificants) of the tribute so that they can thank the donors for their gifts, but that list often needs to be further edited because it pulls gifts in not related to the source itself (basically if a constituent makes a gift with that source, it gives me all the gifts on record for that constituent and not just the one related to the source). I'd prefer not to have to do that for this project, so I'm curious if I am doing something wrong in my output sets or if there is a better way to get what I want.Tributeslistshttps://communitytest.tessitura.com/topical_groups/fundraising-development-tessitura-community/f/discussions/35577/reminder-two-tlcc-opportunitiesWed, 03 Apr 2024 16:48:00 GMTfd08b0f2-65fa-4b2b-916a-cce3e88b61d0:23a119c1-7ffb-4874-8bf4-218945dd21fbColleen MillerAs a reminder there are two TLCC-based opportunities with deadlines closing in!

I'm working on a presentation for our board to give them a sense of our fundraising expenses vs. what we raise within a fiscal year (like I'm sure some of you have experienced, they don't seem to understand how far we stretch a dollar to make sure contributed income can elevate the art above all else ). I'd love to also be able to talk through the standard at other arts and humanities organizations for perspective. Is anyone willing to share what percent of their organizations contributed income goes toward expenses? I'm specifically interested in looking at non-Gala special events (opening nights, stewardship receptions, etc.) I appreciate your insights!https://communitytest.tessitura.com/topical_groups/fundraising-development-tessitura-community/f/discussions/35424/opportunity---tlcc-2024-scholarshipTue, 19 Mar 2024 15:41:00 GMTfd08b0f2-65fa-4b2b-916a-cce3e88b61d0:bcd52d4f-87ba-41c5-ac22-fd125aa5a9e7Colleen MillerTessitura is offering 10 scholarships for TLCC 2024 in Washington, DC, including seven Diversity Scholarships and three Emerging Leaders Scholarships.

I've been looking at the Event Listing report and the challenge is that it only allows the user to select one event at a time. I'm trying to generate a report show all the events this year with an output of the event date, number of attendees and revenue. Is anyone having any luck with something like this? Also to note, we are on V16 and I'm not seeing any "event" data in analytics, however there is limited "special activity" data in the Interactions cube. We decided not to use Special Activities for these events as there isn't a way to capture revenue there.https://communitytest.tessitura.com/topical_groups/fundraising-development-tessitura-community/f/discussions/35277/elevated-events-reporting/91545Mon, 04 Mar 2024 15:05:00 GMTfd08b0f2-65fa-4b2b-916a-cce3e88b61d0:dfe402da-e740-4a90-860d-5f0c9d4f9486Elizabeth DarlingHi Sue, We at the VMHC use Elevated Events (I find they are very helpful for events where no payment is needed/if it is a higher-touch event.) Here's the parameters we use: A note that if you're using V16, Tessitura Support has had to manually fix a glitch in the report several times for me. It's a known defect that they're working through. As long as you send a support ticket in letting them know the data isn't populating in the report, Support will manually fix the report! I have not found Analytics to offer any reporting on Elevated Events in V16.https://communitytest.tessitura.com/topical_groups/fundraising-development-tessitura-community/f/discussions/35277/elevated-events-reporting/91544Mon, 04 Mar 2024 15:04:00 GMTfd08b0f2-65fa-4b2b-916a-cce3e88b61d0:6282a590-e4f2-4f2d-a628-3b2353b750d0Colleen MillerSo I will say my org is still in v15, so it's possible v16 has this capability in Analytics (I understand there's a cube for constituent interactions), but I don't know of it in v15. We use the Event Listing report to pull that information from the Elevated Events. It should include all of the things you've listed here, but if there's anything it isn't pulling my next recommendation would be to create a list of the attendees and then create an output set to pull the missing information.https://communitytest.tessitura.com/topical_groups/fundraising-development-tessitura-community/f/discussions/35277/elevated-events-reporting/91543Mon, 04 Mar 2024 15:02:00 GMTfd08b0f2-65fa-4b2b-916a-cce3e88b61d0:bb3028c1-267b-41bb-84cb-e5601c6ae43cAnne M RobichauxIt looks like the only standard report is the Event Listing Report in the Development folder. I don't believe Elevated Events are available in Analytics (at least in v15), much the same way that Special Activities aren't, unfortunately.https://communitytest.tessitura.com/topical_groups/fundraising-development-tessitura-community/f/discussions/35277/elevated-events-reportingMon, 04 Mar 2024 14:57:00 GMTfd08b0f2-65fa-4b2b-916a-cce3e88b61d0:46a3978d-db0a-4e20-99bc-553a9bbdd292Sue LlendeHello All! We've started using Elevated Events to capture high level data on non-ticketed events. We've created an event for each instance and are recording the event date, number of attendees and revenue. I'm struggling to find a report that shows these basic pieces of data for our events and don't see that this data is available in Analytics. Does anyone use this functionality and if so, can you share how you output this data? Thanks in advance!
