Fund Management Terminology
-
Fund Status: Whether the fund designation is active or inactive.
-
Parent Fund: The primary fund under which other funds (sub-funds) can be grouped. For example: Your church sends missionaries across the globe. Create a parent-fund called Missionaries and sub-funds for each individual missionary.
-
Sub-Fund: A fund organized beneath a parent fund.
-
Fund Name: How the fund designation will display to givers. Choose something recognizable!
-
Merchant Account: If you have set up more than one depository bank account for your deposits, you can specify which account gifts designated to this fund will deposit to. Note: this field will not appear if you only have one bank account associated with your giving platform. Need to add a bank account?
-
Allow notes for this fund: Checking this box will provide a space for Givers to add a memo or not to their gift to that specific fund, and that note will appear in your transaction report.
-
Fund Keyword: A one-word keyword used to designate text gifts.
-
Fund Code: Used for manual export ChMS integrations. Note: Your organization may not use Fund Codes, they are not required for Fund creation.
-
Fund Goal: Set a maximum donation amount and what happens to the fund once goal is met
-
Add fund to the following giving form(s): Select one or multiple giving forms and add fund to the dropdown fund menu instantly.
-
Start / End Date: Control when the fund designation is available for giver use.
-
Hide from Kiosk: Checking the Hide from Kiosk box will make the fund you’re adding visible only when choosing the fund within your form settings. This allows you to create a fund specifically for your event registration, donation, or fundraising form, without the fund appearing on your giving portal.
