  • You can create a new program or keep the same one and update each new campaign. You can associate multiple programs with the same capital campaign.
  • A donation distribution can be assigned to a pledge by a nightly routine. However, keep the following in mind:
    • Make sure that the program to which the donor gave has the pledge campaign listed on the program.
    • Make sure that the donor's pledge is to that pledge campaign. The donor's pledge must be the same donor or spouse of the donor.
    • It is required that a program can only be associated with one pledge campaign for this to work.
If a multi-site church wants to track separate balances for each campus' contributions to the capital campaign, then consider these scenarios:
  • If a donor makes a pledge while attending campus A, where should her donations go if she later attends and contributes towards that goal from campus B?
  • If we are tracking separate balances, what will our process be to ensure that adjusting journal entries are made when money intended for the balance of campus A is accidentally put to the balance of campus B?
