How do I handle corporate sponsorships?

Anonymous Blackbaud User

The most obvious possible workaround for adding money collected offline is to create a fake individual (not on a team!) participant ("Mr. Corporate Sponsor"), and then record offline donations on that person's behalf as the sponsorships come in. This participant ("Mr. Corporate Sponsor") will need to have their TeamRaiser marked private. This will keep the corporate sponsorships from showing in the status indicators/honor roll.

One thing to keep in mind is that this participant ("Mr. Corporate Sponsor") will, however, show in reports.
