Recent Contribution Amount¶
This Condition, located on the Contributions category tab in Search Builder, allows you to find people based on the total amount they gave in the number of days you enter. For couples who give jointly, gifts are credited to the Head of Household, so only the Head of Household is returned.
Enter the following:
Comparison and an amount (no dollar sign)
Days to look back
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.
Equal 0 finds people with no contributions in that period.
GreaterEqual 0, Less, and LessEqual also include people with no contributions,
along with the givers who match the amount.
Use Case
To count giving units that gave $5,000 or more last year,
select GreaterEqual, enter 5000, and enter 365 for the Days.
Sample search in Search Builder¶
To return both spouses of a joint giving unit, use Recent Contribution Amount With Both Joint or Recent Giver.
