Has anyone set up an event registration form in which only a portion of the fee is tax deductible? If so, I'd like to see how you did so.

Options
We'd like to set up an online event registration form for a dinner event which is a fundraiser. Only a portion of the fees are tax deductible and I'm wondering if anyone has done this. We are integrating our event registration with Raiser's Edge and I'm not sure how this works on the Raiser's Edge side since only one fund can be selected for the form. Does this imply that this is entered as a split gift or is it possible to set up the online form to do this?

  • We have the same situation and we use the NC Spark registration integrated with RE. Somehow we have our acknowledgement letters print out with the correct tax deductible amount on it.I'll talk with my controller about it works for us.
  • Thanks Cindy. Are you able to share any screen shots of the NC form as seen by the online user? That would also be helpful.
  • Are you creating a print acknowledgement out of Raiser's Edge? If so, NetCommunity/Raiser's Edge will autocalculate that amount in the receipt amt field.
  • We haven't set anything up yet since we are trying to figure out the best way to accomplish this task.
  • So here's how we do it. This event was set up in RE with the prices of gift amount and receipt amount. The total amount goes into the donors record and then the receipt amount is displayed on the gift record. I wasn't exactly sure how to add a screen shot here so I've included them as images. The first is a screen shot of the gift record, showing how it looks in the gift record. The second is a screen shot of the form set up for pricing options. We have to set this up as a new event in RE every year with the gift amount and the receipt amount for the current year's event. I'm not sure if this answers your question, but it's how we do it.



  • Awesome. Thanks Cindy - I may have some additional questions later but this is very helpful.
  • Glad to help.
