HOW TO Donate2 Contributions

Objective

This article provides the step-by-step process on adding/adjusting donation information from Donate2 to Tessitura. This process is utilized by Development to add and manage donations that are sent to PacSci. This article specifically reviews how to identify anonymous and tribute information given by Donate2 and applying it on Constituent Accounts. By the end, the reader will know how to access donation information from Donate2, input the information to Tessitura, add a new plan, and how to post a batch for donations.

Stuff to Know

  • Check the closed batches in Tessitura for webapi batches. Click through and identify batches that need to be closed by Development 
  • Donate2 is directly linked to Tessitura so whenever someone donates through Donate2 the amount is automatically inputted, however, Tessitura does not capture Anonymous or Tribute information from Donate2. This process goes through the process on pulling up a Constituent account and updating the donation information to include those key parts for our reporting.  
  • Watch the Donor Information Coordinator go through this process here
  • Every page on HelpDesk has a "Get help for this page" link in the bottom left side that will provide additional guidance on navigating the page
