FUNDRAISING
Fundraising and Accounting, Working Together
Track donations, pledges, and donor relationships while automatically recording fundraising activity in your nonprofit’s accounting system.
Record Gifts Once
Stop entering the same donation into separate fundraising and accounting systems. With Fund EZ, monetary gifts automatically create accounting receipts, while pledges and pledge payments flow into Accounts Receivable.
Manage Donors and Pledges
Maintain complete giving histories, manage pledge payments, and track donor relationships, households, memberships, and interactions. Keep the information your team needs organized and accessible.
Report with Confidence
Track gifts and pledges by campaign, appeal, and other criteria. Use flexible reports and saved Views to analyze giving activity, identify donor groups, and prepare information for management and reporting.
Manage Donations, Pledges, and Donor Relationships in One System

Record Fundraising Activity Directly in Your Accounting System
One of the biggest advantages of Fund EZ Fundraising is its integration with Fund EZ Accounting.
When accounting integration is enabled, fundraising transactions automatically create the appropriate accounting entries. There’s no need to record the same transaction again in another system.
How Fundraising Transactions Flow into Accounting
- Monetary Gifts: Automatically create cash-basis receipts in the General Ledger.
- In-Kind Gifts: Create General Journal entries.
- Pledges: Create Accounts Receivable invoices.
- Pledge Payments: Create Accounts Receivable cash receipts.
- Pledge Adjustments: Create Accounts Receivable credit memos.
Automatically Assign Funds, Accounts, and Cost Centers
Fund EZ can use campaign, appeal, and sub-appeal settings to determine the accounting information assigned to gifts and pledges.
For example, a campaign can determine the fund, an appeal can identify the program or cost center, and a sub-appeal can assign the revenue account.
These settings can be configured to match your organization’s accounting structure, reducing manual coding and helping ensure donations are recorded where they belong.
Integrated Financial Reporting
Because fundraising activity is recorded directly in the accounting system, transactions become part of the General Ledger, Accounts Receivable, financial reports, and applicable bank reconciliation processes.
Your fundraising and accounting teams can work from consistent financial records rather than maintaining separate sets of transactions.
Turn Fundraising Records into Useful Information
Fund EZ provides flexible tools for reviewing donations, pledges, donor relationships, and fundraising activity.
Donor and Giving Reports
- Review giving histories for individual donors and households.
- Analyze donations by campaign, appeal, and sub-appeal.

Saved Views and Custom Reporting
Fund EZ Views allow you to select donors, gifts, or pledges using combinations of available fields.
Save these selections and reuse them for reports, exports, or mail merges. Views can reflect changes in your underlying data without requiring you to rebuild the report each time.
Donor Communications
Use Microsoft Word mail merge capabilities to prepare donor correspondence, including:
- Gift receipts and acknowledgements.
- Pledge acknowledgements and reminders.
- General donor mailings.
- Labels, envelopes, and correspondence.
Completed mail merges can also be recorded in donor interaction histories.
