If a donor gives you a check, you can add that check amount to your fundraising page's total and display your donor in the list with all your online donors. Here's how.
Sign in to your account.
On the Home tab, click on the pencil icon next to the page you'd like to work with.
Click Add Offline Donation.
A screen will come up asking for information about your donor. This information will be confirmed by the nonprofit when they receive the check. Once this information has been confirmed, it cannot be changed, so be sure to double-check what you've entered before clicking Continue!
Upon clicking Continue, the donation will appear on your fundraising page in the table of donors at the bottom - your offline donors will look just like your online donors. An email will also be sent to you and to your donor (if you've entered their email address) at this time, confirming that they made a donation to your page.
A full receipt email will follow once the nonprofit has received and confirmed the check - to make things easier for the nonprofit to match up, please ensure that your name or the address of your fundraising page is written in the memo line of the check.
If you need help finding the address of the nonprofit to send the check in, please contact us with the name of the nonprofit.
