Contribution statements summarize each donor's giving for a date range. Follow these steps to set up and generate them from the Donor Reports page.
Note: Contribution Detail Statements are designed to fit in a standard #10 envelope, with the address window positioned 1/2" from the bottom for proper alignment. You can also print them for non-windowed envelopes and use labels.
Generate Contribution Detail Statements
- From the dashboard, select Offering.
- In the left navigation menu, select Reports to expand the section.
- Select Donor.
- From the Select a Donor Report dropdown, choose Contribution Detail Statement Report.
- Enter a Start Date and End Date.
- Under Select one or more Funds, select at least one fund. If you skip this, the message "Must select at least one fund" appears.
-
From the Report Type dropdown, choose how contributions are listed:
- All Details: lists each contribution with its date, amount, check number, and fund name.
- Details for $250: lists only contributions of $250 or more. See Generate Contribution Statements for $250 or More.
- Fund Totals Only: lists each fund with the total the donor gave to it.
Note: Report Type returns to All Details each time you open the report, so check it before you generate statements.
- To print mailing labels with your statements, select the Print Statement Labels checkbox below the date fields. See Generate Labels for Contribution Statements.
- Check the Signature, Letterhead, Body of Statement, and Printed Name fields. Make sure the selected Body of Statement is the right one for this report. See Configure Donor Reports: Signature, Letterhead, Body of Statement, and Printed Name.
- Select Configure in the upper-right corner.
- Select Filters.
-
Review each tab in the Report Filters window:
- Include Contribution Types: select every contribution type you use. Gifts with an unselected type don't appear on statements.
- Other Filters: choose whether to include families with blank street addresses, blank or invalid zip codes, or Send Mail unchecked, zero-dollar contribution line items, and non-tax-deductible contributions.
- Include Fulfillment Methods: choose which fulfillment methods to include.
For details, see Configure Filters for Donor Reports.
- Select Save & Close to keep your filter changes, or Cancel to close without saving.
- Select Export in the upper-right corner.
- Select PDF or Excel. The message "Report is being generated." appears, and the file downloads when it is ready. The two formats are laid out very differently; see Choose the Best Export Option for Your Donor Reports.
