The GiftWorks Quick Import feature allows you to import donations for new or existing donors. GiftWorks can apply a donation to an existing pledge payment if the amount matches an outstanding pledge payment for the assigned donor. GiftWorks will use its best judgment to determine if it is a new donation or a payment on an outstanding pledge. Only one pledge payment per pledge will import per import. During the import process you will have the option to override the defaults for each donation. The Quick Import must use a Microsoft Excel (.xls or .xlsx) spreadsheet with a pre-defined set of columns. Please choose from one of the below attachedĀ templates.
In order to import donations using Quick Import, the following columns are required to have values:
- Id
- FirstName
- LastName
- PaymentMethod
- DonationDate
