   • Cross-check the extracted donor data: Ensure that every individual donor’s record is present in the report. This includes checking that no donor has been omitted from the list.
   • Confirm the presence of all required data fields: Each donor record should contain essential information such as:
     • Donor Name
     • Donation Amount
     • Date of Donation
     • Payment Method
     • Donation Purpose (if applicable)
     • Donor Category (e.g., new or recurring)
2. Check Data Consistency:
   • Ensure that donation amounts are consistent with what is listed in the original documents (e.g., receipts, bank statements). The amounts should be accurate and free from typographical errors or formatting inconsistencies.
   • Review donation dates to ensure they are correctly aligned with the period (February 2025).
   • Verify payment methods and donor categories to ensure they match the data collected in the original documents.
   • Check that donation purposes or conditions (if any) are accurately reflected as per the donor’s original instructions.
3. Confirm Groupings and Categorization:
   • If the report includes groupings by donor type (new, recurring), payment method, or donation size, ensure that the donors have been correctly categorized.
   • Review the summary section to confirm that the total amount raised, number of donations, and other key metrics are correct based on the data collected.
4. Ensure Formatting Accuracy:
   • Verify that the table structure is consistent throughout the report:
     • Column headers should be clear and labeled appropriately (e.g., Donor Name, Donation Amount, etc.).
     • Rows should be properly aligned, with no overlapping text or misaligned data.
     • The report should have a clean layout that is easy to read, with enough spacing between rows to prevent crowding of text.
   • Check for uniform font sizes and types across all sections of the report.

    • Helps in predicting future donation patterns based on historical data.

Example Use Case:

Imagine a nonprofit organization running an annual fundraising campaign. A donor, Emily Clark, contributes $300 via an online platform on February 10, 2025. The details are automatically captured in SayPro:

• Donor Name: Emily Clark
• Donation Amount: $300
• Payment Method: Credit card
• Donation Date: February 10, 2025
• Campaign: Annual Fundraiser 2025

SayPro generates an automatic tax receipt with the exact donation date of February 10, 2025. It also tracks the donation in a Campaign Report for February 2025, helping the organization assess the total funds raised during that period. The donation is then included in a monthly summary report showing trends across donors.

Conclusion:

SayPro’s Date of Donation Tracking is a crucial feature that helps organizations maintain accurate, timely records of donor contributions. It enables automated tracking, integrates with payment systems, generates reports, and helps organizations understand their donation patterns. By capturing the precise date of each donation, SayPro enhances reporting, compliance, donor communication, and overall fundraising efforts. Whether for one-time gifts or recurring donations, SayPro ensures that every donation is correctly recorded and easily accessible for future use.
