Contribution Amount History Donor Only

This Condition, located on the Contributions category tab in Search Builder, allows you to find people based on the total amount they gave during a date range. Only the person on whose record the gifts are posted is returned, even when the couple gives jointly.

Enter the following:

  • Comparison and an amount (no dollar sign)

  • Start Date and End Date

  • Fund ID (optional) - leave blank to include all funds

Note

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

Zero and non-givers

  • Equal 0 finds people who have no contributions at all in the date range (to any fund, even when a Fund ID is entered).

  • Less and LessEqual find only people who gave something greater than $0 but less than the amount you enter. To include non-givers, add a second Condition for Equal 0 in a Match ANY group.

Use Case

To find everyone who gave $1,000 or more to the General Fund last year, set the Comparison to GreaterEqual, enter 1000, enter last year’s dates, and enter the General Fund’s ID. The search returns those donors.

To return both spouses of a joint giving unit, use Contribution Amount History Both Joint.
