Creating a Contribution Report

It’s time to start using the data that you’ve collected.  Your Contributions have been imported and Deposits have been made.  You’re wondering about the giving patterns over the last few months.  Let’s take a look at how we run those reports. 

Let’s start by navigating to the Contributions>Reports page.

 

In the navigation pane, you will notice the possible reports grouped by category.  Each one of these has multiple editable filters once you’ve selected the type of report you’re wanting to run.  

 

Let’s say we’re looking to run a report for the year-to-date total for all online giving and want to only include those Contributions that were given from our Online payment method.

 

We will choose the Funds>Monthly Totals by Fund because we want to organize it by month.  

 

We will add the filters to the base report to look like this:

These filters work just like the Advanced Search feature found in the other tools.  

 

Click Run Report and the report will render.  

 

These same steps can be utilized to create hundreds of custom reports providing you with the exact data you’re looking for to help lead your congregation.  

 

As with the other tools, Empower gives you many options for saving or sending the reports to other leaders.  

For more ideas about utilizing the Contributions Reports, see our Empower blog.
