To break down the donation types (monetary, in-kind, and grants) received in January and throughout the first quarter (January, February, March) using SayPro, follow these steps:
1. Access Donation Data
Step 1: Log into SayPro
- Log in to SayPro using your credentials.
Step 2: Navigate to the Donation Records Section
- Go to the “Donations” or “Donation Records” section where all donation information is stored.
2. Filter Donations by Date and Type
Step 1: Set Date Range for January (or Quarter)
- For January, set the filter to January 1, 2025 to January 31, 2025.
- For the first quarter (Q1), set the filter to January 1, 2025 to March 31, 2025.
- This will ensure you’re working with the correct timeframes.
Step 2: Filter by Donation Type
- Filter by donation type (e.g., Monetary, In-Kind, Grants) in SayPro to categorize the donations.
- Monetary Donations: Cash or funds donated.
- In-Kind Donations: Donations of goods or services instead of money (e.g., equipment, supplies, etc.).
- Grants: Specific funding typically provided for a project or program, which may have conditions or earmarks.
3. Break Down Donations by Type
Step 1: Group Donations by Type
- Use SayPro’s sorting and grouping features to categorize donations into Monetary, In-Kind, and Grants.
- After applying filters for date and donation type, you should see a breakdown of the different donation categories.
Step 2: Track Donation Amounts for Each Type
- Monetary Donations: Add up the total monetary donations received.
- In-Kind Donations: Calculate the value of in-kind donations (if applicable, SayPro may allow you to enter estimated values for in-kind donations).
- Grants: Total the grant amounts.
Example Breakdown for January 2025:
- Monetary Donations: $1,000,000
- In-Kind Donations: $200,000 (e.g., 10,000 medical supplies valued at $200,000)
- Grants: $500,000
4. Summarize the Donation Types for the Quarter
Step 1: Apply the Same Filters for Q1 (January, February, March)
- Set the filter for January 1, 2025 to March 31, 2025 to gather all donations received in the first quarter.
Step 2: Calculate Total Donation Amounts by Type for the Quarter
- For Monetary Donations, In-Kind Donations, and Grants, sum the values received over the entire quarter.
Example Breakdown for Q1 (January – March 2025):
- Monetary Donations: $3,000,000
- In-Kind Donations: $600,000 (e.g., 30,000 medical supplies valued at $600,000)
- Grants: $1,200,000
5. Generate a Summary Report
Step 1: Create a Donation Breakdown Report
- Use SayPro’s reporting or export features to create a detailed report summarizing the donation types for both January and the full first quarter.
- Example Report Title: “Donation Breakdown by Type – January 2025” or “First Quarter 2025 Donation Breakdown”.
Step 2: Export the Report
- Export the report as a PDF, Excel, or Word document to share with internal stakeholders or management for review.
6. Review and Verify the Data
Step 1: Double-Check Donation Data
- Ensure that the donation amounts and donor types are correctly categorized, especially for in-kind donations, which might require manual value assignment.
Step 2: Finalize the Report
- Once the data is accurate, finalize the report and save it for internal records and strategic planning purposes.
7. Present the Data to Stakeholders
Step 1: Share with Relevant Teams
- Share the donation breakdown report with relevant teams, including the finance team, program managers, or executive leadership, to help with decision-making, budgeting, and planning.
Step 2: Use the Data for Strategic Planning
- The breakdown by donation type helps inform decisions about:
- How to allocate resources or budget for upcoming programs.
- Identifying trends (e.g., more in-kind donations than monetary, which could suggest a need for more fundraising).
- Developing strategies for engaging donors in different ways (monetary versus in-kind support).
Conclusion
By following these steps in SayPro, you can efficiently track and break down the types of donations (monetary, in-kind, and grants) received in January and throughout the first quarter. This breakdown provides valuable insights for internal reporting, budgeting, and strategic planning, helping the organization better understand the sources and types of support it is receiving.
