What are funds?
Funds could be described as the purposes for which your church collects contributions from members. These can be, for example: Building Fund, Youth & Children Events Fund, etc.
You can find your current list of funds by going to Contributions > Funds. Each fund is listed along with its Fund ID (if added), information on whether it is tax deductible, as well as the number of contributions it includes, along with the total amount available.

Next, enter your fund’s information:
