When someone in your church passes away, there may be a desire to record gifts in their memory.
Only one Memorial Pledge Campaign is needed to track all memorials. One-time setup includes:
Though rare, you may elect to receive online donations through the Portal for a memorial. The best approach involves use of the Mission Trip/Project page. That page prevents recurring gifts and enables the donor to include a note. Your web department may need to make changes to the Portal skin or configuration to make this page more generic and less mission trip oriented.
Use of Mission Trip Giving on the Portal to accept memorial donations requires that you make two changes to the Pledge Campaign created above. First, set a Program value on the Pledge Campaign created above. It can be a new Program or an existing one. Second, change your Pledge Campaign Type to Mission Trip/Project. Review the Mission Trip Setup article for other details.
You may report on the gifts with a view or selection on the Distributions page. You may also select the Pledge on the Pledges page and run a report from there.
