You will need the Contributions Settings permission to create the designation, and Limited Write Contributions to enter the transaction.
Not all donations are monetary. Following these steps will enable you to record a donation for non-monetary items your church may receive.
Have a Gift in Kind Designation
This will note that the donation is not considered income, ensuring clarity in reports. First, create a new designation named Gift In Kind.
Click on Contributions > Settings in the left-hand navigation menu. From here you can click on the Add Designation button and name the designation Gift In Kind.
Tip: A designation belongs to exactly one organization, and any campuses on it must sit inside that organization. If your account has more than one organization, create a Gift In Kind designation in each one that needs it. A gift's campus comes from its designations, not from the donor.
If you need additional help creating a contribution designation, see How do I manage the giving designations?
Create a new batch or locate an existing one in Contributions > Batches. Once you are in the desired batch, select the Add Transaction button.
Or select the Actions button in the top right, and then select the Add transactions option from the dropdown.
When entering the contribution, enter $0.00 into the amount field. In the notes field under Other details, revealed by clicking on the more fields button, set a description of what was given. You can also include the fair market value if desired.
