Overview

Events are fundraising opportunities where participants seek sponsorships for completion of certain activities. One example is a walk, where a sponsor pledges an amount based on a participant’s walking a prescribed route at an appointed date and time.

Connect-FR provides an interface by which your organization can keep track of such events and the varied information associated with them. Event records in Connect-FR are multi-tiered, consisting of a series of tabs to track the following information affiliated with an event:

• Linked Parties – Enables your organization to view current sponsors/participants, volunteers, associated churches and sister agencies, as well as any special designations applicable to the use of donations.

• Local Allocations – Indicates how event revenue may be shared with local, tax-exempt agencies. Connect-FR prevents your organization from remitting too much revenue to these agencies according to pre-established limits. It also facilitates issuance of checks to these agencies.

• Income – As your organization receives income from a certain event and the income is recorded and attributed to the event through DDI-Connect’s cash-receipting functions, the receipts are displayed within the event record and may be directly accessed from there.

• Orders – The event record serves as a conduit for all orders of materials to be used in staging a given event.
