attributing team gifts to individual fundraisers

Greg Sims · September 2014

Does anyone out there have a solution for this?

Here's the scenario: we want to enhance how we support and recognize our top walk fundraisers. Let's say those who raise $500+. In Luminate, we can identify these fundraisers based on gifts made directly on their behalf via their personal page. But a sizable chunk of our revenue for the event comes from team-only gifts. So there are individual participants / team captains out there who are soliciting $$ for us but not getting credit for it because it's going through the team page, not their personal page.

Here's the question: Is there a way to attribute team gifts back to the individual fundraiser who solicited them?

Unfortunately there is not. This is why I see a lot of clients actually hiding or disabling the team gift or direct event gift ability.

I will add..... If you can find out from participants that a friend told them they made a gift but it's not showing up then you can track it down and change the soft-credit.

I've had this problem for years. I've submitted an idea to the idea portal because we have some teams that want to have team gifts, but others who do not want that option (because of the situation you described). Please visit and vote on this idea >> https://luminateonline.ideas.aha.io/ideas/LUM-I-740

One thing that I have done in the past for various teams who receive an offline donation is to divide the check amount by the number of team members and give them each an offline credit for that amount. (I don't recommend this if you can avoid it.)
