Giving Option

A Giving Option is simply any project or function that you present to donors for donations. It could be your general operating expenses, a new building you are building, a program that needs funding, etc. Each giving option will eventually become its own web page and the selections you make in setting up the giving option will carry through with that donation.
 
Before you can set up a new giving option, you first have to create some other records that will be needed for the giving option. You need a Fund Code, an Appeal Code, and a Letter. Check out those sections for more information about how to create those codes.
 
Once you have set up the Funds, Appeals, and Letters, you are ready to set up a Giving Option. Click on the Giving Options tab at the top of the page. This page shows a list of your currrent options, if you have any. Click the Edit button on the right to make changes to a giving option or click Add New Giving Option to create a new one.
