What's the difference between a campaign and a designation, and how can they help you organize your donations?

Updated over a week ago

As you may have noticed, “campaigns” and “designations” are two tools that can help manage your donation records and overall fundraising within Donor Management.

These two features have a lot in common, but are actually two separate ways to assign a donation or contribution.

Campaigns” can help you track where your donations and other contributions are coming from; this can include things like year-end giving campaigns, an annual gala, a 5K event, or an ongoing donation page.

Designations” can help you track what those donations and contributions will go towards; this could include “supplies for the shelter,” “a new van,” or “where needed the most.”
