If a donor or a fundraiser sends in a check, you can now enter that into your reports so it will show up with all your other donations. This also enables you to acknowledge offline donors and even add offline donations to individual fundraising pages, if the page owner has not done so him- or herself.
To confirm an offline donation, sign in to your account and click the Events tab.
Choose the event with which the fundraiser is associated - there's also a new "Grassroots fundraising" event that contains all your fundraisers who are raising money independently.
On the left column, you'll see a link that says "Offline - Pending." Click that link to see a list of those donations. To find out how to add a new offline donation (one that hasn't been entered by the fundraiser yet), click here.
Click the donation you're interested in and you'll be able to peruse the details of that donation. Once you're satisfied with everything, you can choose Confirmed from the drop-down menu for Status. Please bear in mind that once you have confirmed the donation, its details cannot be changed!
When you click Confirm, an email will be sent to the fundraiser and to the donor (if the donor's email address is provided) with receipt details, just the same as the confirmation email we send to online donors.
