The self-service reports in My Prospect Alerts — a tab on the My Fundraiser page — provide accurate and timely information for development officers related to both their assigned and unassigned prospects. This guide explains how to use the Recent Gifts and Pledges subtab.

Key Takeaways

Such information is confidential and may only be used in accordance with WFAA’s polices, including its data disclosure and confidentiality policies.


When to Use

The My Prospect Alerts — Recent Gifts and Pledges Report outputs a list of all pledges, outright gifts, planned gifts, and pledge payments made, within a selected date range, by prospects that the user has engaged within the past year.

Specifically, the output includes all prospects for whom a user is a plan manager (primary, secondary, secondary solicitor) on an active plan, or an owner or additional solicitor of any interaction in the last 12 months or any step in pending/planned status.

The output, by default, includes gifts and pledges entered into ABE in the previous two weeks. Dates can be edited to provide any desired time frame and reflect the entered-on date for gifts and pledges.

This is a self-service report available to WFAA development staff and campus users who have the prospect and plan management role and have agreed to maintain the information’s confidentiality and to use it only in accordance with WFAA’s polices, including its data disclosure and confidentiality policies. This report does not replace the Donor Stewardship Report as the tool for generating acknowledgments by unit and department.

The report is only available to be viewed online and cannot be exported to any other format.
