Defining Donor Clubs

Many fundraising organizations establish donor clubs to recognize various levels of giving by donors. For example, for contributions of $10,000 or more, the organization may designate a donor as a "friend," and for $20,000 or more, a donor may be designated as a "benefactor." Not all organizations use donor clubs, but if your organization does, iMIS makes it easy to record and track donations and donor clubs.

iMIS automatically determines whether a donor club is attained with each gift entry. If you define a donor club at $20 for a single gift, and a contributor donates $20 or more, the contributor automatically attains the donor club.

When generating a Donor Club Detail report, the highest donor club achieved by an individual within the same criteria as defined in the Set up donor clubs window supersedes any lower donor club (if Superseded was entered in one of the user-defined fields on the Set up activity types window (from Customers, select Set up module> Activity types) when setting up the DONORCLUB activity type).

However, such a donor club does not supersede a donor club that was achieved under different parameters. For example, an individual makes a $1,000 cash contribution, which qualifies the donor for the Diamond Donor Club. The Diamond Donor Club requires a cash-only contribution of at least $1,000. The donor also qualifies for the Silver and Gold Donor Clubs, which require cash-only contributions of $100 or $500, respectively. The Diamond Donor Club supersedes the Silver and Gold, and only the Diamond Donor Club prints on the Donor Club Detail report. However, the contributor also qualifies for the Patron Donor Club, which requires a $500 gift, but does not require cash-only contributions. Both the Diamond and Patron Donor Clubs print on the Donor Club Detail report.
