  • NOTE: If using a Gift Transaction for in-kind gifts, set the Payment Method for the gift to In-Kind on the Gift Transaction and use the Original Amount field for the fair market value of the gift. Using a Gift Transaction will cause the gift to be inclued in the Donor Gift Summary rollups as a regular gift so you will need to exclude it. You may also wish to add in a rollup for in-kind gifts.
