ParishSOFT Offering is a software solution in the ParishSOFT Family Suite that helps churches record and manage charitable contributions given to their organization by members and benefactors. The module helps you manage regular offerings, contributions, and pledges made to specific funds and to capital campaigns. Your organization must be licensed for ParishSOFT Offering to use this module.
ParishSOFT Offering's key features include the following:
● Ability to record donor contributions made through regular offerings and gifts to specific funds.
● Ability to report all types of charitable contributions.
● Ability to restrict access to financial information on a need-to-know basis by setting access permissions on funds.
● Internal control systems to help deter fraud.
Family and member information is the foundation of your ParishSOFT database. Families and members must exist in your ParishSOFT database before you can record their contributions and pledges in the Offering module. If you have not set up family and member records yet, you must do that before you can use the Offering application. Family and family member data that you set up in ParishSOFT's Family Directory module carry over into Offering and into the other modules in the ParishSOFT Family Suite.
Because family and member information impacts all other modules in the ParishSOFT Family Suite, it is important that family's and member's data is accurate and up to date. As your staff to contact members if registration information is not complete or is missing. Complete records can save you time in the long run.
Establish a style for your family and member records. Be sure to document this style with your staff so that the many people who add information to your database do so consistently. A consistent style helps make your data and reports look more professional. For example, decide whether or not to use the ampersand (&) or the word "and" in mailing names and whether or not to use courtesy titles, such as "Mr." and "Mrs." in your records.
