Find Gift Types

Use Find Gift Typeto search for Gift Types already in your database. Gift Type information is stored in the database by the fields completed in the Add - Fundraising Gift Type process. When using the Find – Fundraising Gift Type form, you search for a desired Gift Type using information stored in the database via these fields. Search results viewed on the List – Fundraising Gift Type page display in columns, and each column of search results corresponds to a data field. Only a limited, pre-defined set of columns pertaining to Gift Types is available to you on the Find – Fundraising Gift Type page.

  1. To search for Gift Types already in your association's database, go to Modules>Fundraising>More...>Gift Type>Find Gift Type. The Find - Fundraising Gift Type page opens.
  2. For a more specific search, click the Advanced View check box. Expanded Boolean search options appear for each search criteria field. Use these search options to narrow your search results further.
  3. Click Go. A list of search results displays in the List - Fundraising Gift Type page. If only one result comes of the search, the profile page for that result opens.

Note: The more specific you make search criteria, the narrower your results will be. Searching for a Gift Type beginning with "F" will return more results than searching for a Gift Type beginning with "Full".
