First Time Givers

To find people who gave for the first time, use one of these Conditions on the Contributions category tab in Search Builder:

Recent First Time Giver

Finds people whose first contribution was within the number of days you enter.

First Time Giver

Finds people whose first contribution was within the date range you enter.

Both Conditions let you limit the search to one fund by entering a Fund ID, and to select the Tax Status of the fund.

Note

You must have the Finance role to get results from these Conditions. Without it, the search returns 0 people and does not show an error.

After you run the search, use the Blue Toolbar to send an email, or export the results to Excel for a thank-you letter mail merge.
