This module is usually associated with Child Sponsorship but can be used for any type of sponsorship relationship. It facilitates a special level of communication between the donor and the child and keeps a lot of information about the child...such as age, hobbies, health, family situation, country, community, school, etc. The design of this module was patterned after that of World Vision.
Sponsored Names
Denari allows the user to store an unlimited number of children or other names being sponsored (inventory)
The Sponsored Name record stores a large amount of data including grade, favorite subject, school, progress, country, community, health, handicap, personality traits, family information and more.
The Sponsored Name record assists with finding donors for sponsored children. It provides the ability for fundraisers to check out a sponsored name record to an event, donor or appeal code. Checking a record out means that child's record is set aside for a period of time while potential sponsors are targeted.
Sponsored Name Records are linked to Pledges and gifts for full integration with your fund-raising database.
Special gifts can be given to a child, above and beyond the pledge.
Pledges
Pledges provide a way to track commitments by sponsors. They record the monthly payment amount, the length of the commitment, and offer a visual look at the donor's financial progress against the pledge.
Pledges can be paid by Check, Credit Card, or Electronic Fund Transfer. When using Denari's Credit Card and Electronic Fund Transfer modules, pledges can be set to transact automatically on a designated day of the month.
Sponsorship Reporting
DenariOnline provides four segmentation reporting tools. They are Name Segmenter, Gift Segmenter, Pledge Segmenter, and Sponsored Name Segmenter. Each allows you to apply criteria to filter your data to produce a targeted list of donors, sponsored names, gifts, or pledges. They can also be linked together to expand the list of criteria capabilities to provide a very detailed segmentation.
Segments can be output as Excel spreadsheets to also provide a way to analyze your data in more detail.
The Sponsored Name Segmenter can be used to perform mass updates of data. For example you may want to check out a group of 50 children who are handicapped and live in India. This can be done automatically.
A number of pledge reports are available. The Pledge Statement is a form that can be sent to donors to update them on the status of their sponsorship pledge. The Pledge Acknowledgement Letter is a one-time form that can be sent to donors to acknowledge their pledge and confirm the details. There are also various standardized reports such as Pledge Summary and Pledge Detail that provide quick and easy reports in PDF format.
