Entering Cash Donations
A large portion of church giving comes via cash donations placed either in the church offering plate or a donation box without an envelope or another way to identify the donor. This article covers how to record anonymous cash donations.
Create Your Cash Offering “Person”
In ChurchTrac, every donation has to be assigned to an individual. So create a fake person on the People screen to whom you will assign all anonymous donations.
On your People Screen, create an organization and name it something like Cash Offering or Anonymous Donor.
Recording Anonymous Donations
Once you have created the "person" to assign your cash offerings to, navigate to the Giving Screen and add a contribution with the "person" selected as the designated giver.
Use your Categories to designate where the money is to be allocated to. Do NOT create different "people" as designations for this. One of the most common mistakes we see is ministries creating multiple "cash offering" people for each service to designate funds.
