You can set up whatever naming and range scheme you need. Optionally, you cal also attach each range (e.g. Ingenue $ 0.01 - $ 99.99) to either or both:

  • A distinct benefit provided amount to be indicated as non-tax-deductible on receipts
  • A workflow notification so that, for example, your artistic director receives an automatically generated email whenever someone makes a gift at the Diva or Producer level.

Most organizations have multiple giving level matrices to meet different campaign needs.
