Hello,

I was wondering if there is a possibility to find all the "new" contributors. E.g. At the end of the year I want to know how many persons became new donors (contributed this year the first time).

Is this possible?

Thanks
Conte

Hi,

I've renamed all my reports in my setup so I may have the name wrong here - but I think it was originally called Contributor Report (Summary). You can specify the date range for donations and also the Donation count (you'll want "is equal to: 1").

If I've understood, I think that covers what you're after.

Just checked on the demo site - it's the Donor Report (Summary) that you want. The one potential problem is that, to filter by date, you also have to group your results by date clusters, so you'll have to click on the date results to see the names of the donors. But it should do the job.

Best,

RJB.

Hi, Conte

So sorry I misunderstood.

There is another report - Donor report (detail) - which, in addition to date range, has a filter called "Contribution Ordinality". You can either set this as "first by contributor" or "second or later by contributor". Sadly, there's no "ONLY by contributor" option out of the box, but I guess you could always run two reports with either Contribution Ordinality setting, then export both sets of results to CSV and use vlookup to compare them in your spreadsheet program (ie, remove any donors from export1.csv who also appear in export2.csv). It's not ideal, but it would probably do what you need.

Other people may have better ideas, though.

Best,

RJB
