Donor numbers
Many organizations use donor numbers for confidential donor identification, such as with envelope giving.
While it was technically possible to update donor numbers via the API in the past, it wasn’t a supported or documented feature. Now it is!
You can officially update donor numbers via the person object in the Giving API.
In-kind donations
The Giving API now supports reading, creating, updating, and deleting in-kind donations. In-kind donations are non-cash gifts, such as furniture, artwork, or shares of stock. For more information, check out our API documentation.
A few important notes:
- In-kind donations aren’t currently supported in batch functionality and, therefore, cannot be created in bulk.
- Acknowledgment emails are not automatically triggered when in-kind donations are created via the API. They must be sent manually from Giving. Using the in-kind donation report, you can quickly identify which donations still need an acknowledgment and send one directly from the donation record.
