CHURCH ADMINISTRATION GUIDE

How to track church donations accurately.

A simple donation-tracking process should make every gift easy to identify, report and reconcile later.

1. Maintain one donor record

Keep each donor’s contact details and giving history in one consistent profile.

2. Record each donation with the right details

Capture the date, amount, category or fund, payment method and donor association.

3. Use batches when entering groups of gifts

Batches help organize donations received together and make review easier.

4. Review reports regularly

Check totals and category breakdowns before year-end instead of waiting until receipt season.

5. Keep receipts connected to the same records

Year-end receipt preparation is simpler when donor and donation data has been accurate all year.

Using software instead of spreadsheets

Corban brings donor records, donations, batches, pledges, reports and receipt workflows together so churches can follow this process in one system.
