When registering for an event on OnLine Express, the option is given to give a donation. Since donations are above the cost of the event the donation needs to be seperate for tax purposes. At the present time the donation is recorded in RE and FE as event registration. Is there any way to have this seperated so the donor can be acknowledged for the gift above the registration fee?

    Hello Mary. On the first tab of Online Express (BBOX) Event Registration form builder you select which fund to credit the event registrations to. Then, on the third tab of the BBOX form builder, you have the option to allow additional donations. When you check the box allowing for that, you are prompted to select which fund to associate those gifts with. Depending on how you fund code gifts at your organization, you should be able to code registration fees to one fund and additional gifts to another fund. This will help you to easily distinguish between registrations and gifts and acknowledge them appropriately.



    I believe if you include the Registration Details merge field in your autoresponder, it too will show which dollars were applied to the registration and which were additional donations. 



    It could also be helpful to include language in your autoresponder or acknowledgment that states something like: "Goods and services are equal to $XX per ticket to the event. Any amount paid above $XX per ticket may be tax deductible. Please consult your tax advisor."
