Do you track sponsorship through their gift record? If so how are these entered? Campaign, fund (Golf), appeal (Sponsorship) Never done this before OR Do I do this in Event Module Any advice or feedback would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

 Hello,

You'll want - somehow - for the gifts to show in the event module.

I enter sponsorships into the event module first (since I often know of the sponsorship before receiving the donation), and then link the gift to the record in the event module once the donation is received (or, you can enter the gift into the event module and it will connect to the record).

We mark our campaign with the event (golf, gala), the fund indicates what the monies raised will go to support (may be a specific program or unrestricted). The appeal depends on what brought the person to our event.

This works for us in pulling various reports and sponsor lists.

We track sponsorships a couple ways. In our system each event has a unique appeal with packages to break out different types of sponsorships, ticket puchases, donations, raffle sales, etc. That way, we can see total sponsorships on our financial reports. We also link the gift to the event participant record, as Jennifer described. That allows us to track benefits associated with the sponsorship, event income, and other event information.
