Reporting on Donors

MinistryPlatform comes pre-loaded with a host of useful reports on the Donors page that provide several approaches to analyzing Donors and their Donations. If a report includes default dates (Period Start/End), this can either be changed to the most used date period (for example, last month, last three months, etc.) or removed completely so you have to enter the dates every time you run the report. Contact Support for more information. Make these reports work for you!

And remember to make them work for your pastors, too! There can be a gap between how a Pastor and Database Administrator think about donors. Pastors often think about donors as a Household. But in MinistryPlatform, donations are attached to individuals.

Tip: Help those who you are reporting to by clarifying this fact and confirming whether they want Individual Donor numbers or Donor Households numbers.
