Donations

The Donations section in B1 Admin provides everything you need to manage your church's giving. From recording weekly offerings to generating year-end tax statements, all of your donation tools are organized in one place so you can stay on top of your church's finances.

Sub-Sections​

You will find the following pages in the Donations section:

Summary​

The Summary page gives you a visual overview of all giving activity. It displays charts and filtered reports so you can quickly see donation trends across your church. See Donation Reports for more details on using the summary and report tools.

Batches​

Batches let you group donations together -- for example, all the checks and cash collected during a Sunday offering. Each batch tracks its donation count and total amount for easy reconciliation. Once a batch is counted, someone with Edit Donations can close it so counting volunteers can no longer change it. Volunteers with the Enter Donations permission can add gifts to open batches without seeing the rest of the Donations section.

Funds​

Funds categorize your donations by purpose. Common examples include General Fund, Building Fund, and Missions. You can mark each fund as tax-deductible or not.

Campaigns​

Campaigns track a fundraising drive toward a goal, with member pledges alongside the actual gifts to the campaign's fund.

Giving Statements​

The Giving Statements page generates year-end giving statements for your donors. You can download individual CSV files or print all statements at once.

Failed Gifts​

Failed Gifts lists recurring online gifts the payment gateway could not collect, with the donor, amount, date and the gateway's message, and a Retry button. See Failed Recurring Gifts.

Stripe Import​

If you accept online donations through Stripe, the Stripe Import tool lets you pull those transactions into B1 Admin so everything is in one system.

Online Giving​

B1 Admin integrates with Stripe, Kingdom Funding and Paystack for accepting online donations. Once configured, members can give through your B1.church site and those donations automatically appear in your records. See Online Giving Setup to get started.

tip

If you are new to donations in B1 Admin, start by setting up your funds, then create your first batch and record donations into it.
