Tracking donations to individuals
May 12, 2010, 09:50:49 pm
I've done a lot of searching and reading, but I wanted to ask to make sure I was headed in the right direction.

Can you set up donations to go to various organizations (or individuals)?
     Can you track these donations?
     Can you donate to more than one organization at a time?
     Can you group individuals so you're donating to one group, but the donations gets split between all the group members?

I'm running a PAC that will be comprised of multiple candidates, so splitting donations among these candidates is essential.

Thanks in advanced,
-Mike

You can have different contribution pages that goto different accounts (i.e. different orgs)

You cannot donate to more than one contribution page at the same time nor can you group individuals

however if you are a php developer, you can extend the system via hooks and collect a lot of information you need in custom fields

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I can sling some php to customize things. My primary concern is being able to make payments to slates.

Let's say I have a group of orgs that share the same vision, like a number of orgs interested in helping with the oil spill from different states. I want to be able to have a user donate to that slate and the funds get divided evenly between the associated orgs.

I imagine I could list out the included orgs on the contribute page, but is there a way to divide out the amounts donated for reporting purposes on a per-org basis? It doesn't have to be easy... it just has to be doable.

I appreciate it :-)

there is no code to do the below, so u'll need to write custom code to accomplish this

it is doable with custom fields and hooks, IMO. I think u will need decent programming skills to do so and first model it properly
