Funds are available for donors to select when they are giving. You can create a fund for anything, but some examples of different funds you might create are:
- General Fund
- Building Fund
- Scholarship Fund
- Missions Fund
*Note: Learn how to filter donations by each fund on your Transactions page here.
Create a Fund
To create a fund, go to Giving > Funds in your portal.
Type the name of your fund in the box and select Add Fund.
Edit a Fund Name
A fund name can be edited at any time in the Fund Name text box
Fund Description
A fund description is optional, but can provide a way to give some more context about the fund. There is a 140-character limit for fund descriptions, so keep it short and sweet! The fund description will display along with the fund when a donor goes through the process of giving online or through your mobile app.
Save Changes
To save the changes you have made to a fund name or fund description, click outside of the text box. You will see an Update Successful message in the top right-hand corner of your screen, letting you know your changes have been saved.
Delete a Fund
To delete a fund, select the trash can icon on the right-hand side. You will be prompted to confirm whether you want to delete the fund.
Reorder a Fund
To change the order funds display on your giving page, hover over the fund, then click on the gripper dots on the very left-hand side. Drag and drop the fund in its new order.
Multi-Campus Funds
If you have more than one campus, you can enable a particular fund for a single campus, or for any number of your campuses. Enable a fund for a campus or campuses by checking the box under each campus.

Fund enabled for multiple campuses:
Tax-Deductible & Non-Tax-Deductible Funds
By default, your funds will be set to tax-deductible. You can change any fund to be non-deductible by toggling its setting on the Giving > Funds page in your portal.
*Note: If you use CCB or PCO giving integration, your funds are managed within those systems. Thus, you will not have the option to select Tax-Deductible or Non-Deductible. These settings are available for aware3-managed funds. Please visit CCB or PCO for funds managed in those systems.
