Everyday work

Donors and households

Add donors, group them in households and see each one's whole history on one page.

Donors lists everyone with their total given, last gift and consent for email and postal mail, 50 to a page. Search by name, email or household.

Add a donor

Fill in Add a donor on the Donors page: a name, and optionally email, phone, household, address and country (United States by default). An email address belongs to one donor only. Add donor opens their page.

Households

Type a household name, such as "Okafor household", on each member's details. Coffer finds the household by name (in any case) or creates it, and each member's page lists the others with a link.

A donor's page

A donor's page shows, in one place:

  • what they have given in total and in each of the last three years;
  • every gift as a ledger line, with its fund, how it was paid, any note, and whether its letter is due, prepared or sent;
  • pledges, with what has been paid and what is still to come;
  • their contact details and household;
  • the full history of their consent;
  • the letters and appeals they were part of;
  • an activity list of every change, who made it and when.

Edit contact details

Open Edit contact details, change what you need and Save details. Every edit is versioned: if someone else saved the donor first, Coffer asks you to refresh rather than overwrite their change.
