So, silly question....in NPSP, in opportunities, there is a related list called "Related Grants/Gifts".  Now, I am not asking for myself but a friend....I mean the name implies, that you can just create a new grant/gift record and have it be associated with an already existing grant/gift (which is different than matching gifts).  What are the primary use cases, etc?

 

And btw, does anyone else feel like that no matter how long they have been in this ecosystem or how "good" you are, that every once and a while, you feel like you know nothing and should know more than you do and feel like an idiot when you ask a question you feel you should know....again, just asking for a friend....  #Nonprofit #Fundrasing

    @Anne-Marie Hendrickson could you set up a Recurring Donation for the annual pledge but somehow also set it up to be recognised as a grant..?

    Otherwise, as @Andrew Ermon described, multiple payments against the same opportunity but when it comes to reporting you'd have to run it for payment dates rather than opportunity closed won/awarded dates for it to be captured.  

     

    We had a recent situation where a grant was awarded in the form of payments direct to suppliers, paying off invoices etc but we already had some deposits paid so they reimbursed us for that portion. It was a mix of In-Kind and Cash but I wanted to reflect that against the same total value of the Grant, I was hopeful this "Previous Grant Opportunity" field could be helpful to relate them. I think I found a workaround in the end, but not as seamless as I'd hoped!

Hypothetical question: A supporter pledges to give us $5M = $1M a year for 5 years, but under the condition is that we find donations to match it and those matching gifts must be at least $25,000 to qualify for matching. And in our case, we can meet matches of subsequent years early. So we could raise $2M this year in qualifying matches and be "ahead" for the future payouts. 

 

From a moves management perspective, the $5M ask has been made and the donor agreed, the gift is closed/won, right?  Well, because it's conditional, the payments in future years are not receivable until we meet the match requirements (which is more like an open gift). It's nice have the opportunity age calculation stop once the ask is complete but since it's conditional should it be an open stage instead?  Some on our team want to count that $5M as fundraised, right? They believe we will meet the match and it's going to happen. But also - we shouldn't count it like we do other pledges that don't have conditions, bc what if we don't meet the match? The full pledge amount is significant and so it matters in our stats. One thought of it is creating 5 opportunities of $1M each, closing on the date that the pledge was finalized (let's say in this year), but with the future ones having unscheduled payments until we meet the match and payment dates once we get the money. But that doesn't accurately show the pledge the donor makes as one amount and it looks so messy in the opportunity history. 

 

Also - how do you track the gifts that qualify and match? Primary Campaign Source could work, but that's already a really important field we use to track for our overall campaign management. Is there another way to link match qualifying gifts to the pledge?

    I think the gist of it is that we can't - nonprofit or for profit - rest on our laurels and expect that the same processes, technology, methods, and platforms that worked for us in the past will continue to work for us in the future. We'll need to make connections with people who are tending to "connect" with less organizations on the platforms where they expect us to be in order to be considered a viable option. #NoLaurelResting
