Sales Receipts for donations

My client is a non-profit and we receive donations through paypal, among other places. When I create as sales receipt, these donations are showing up as "sales" on the statement of activity. I want them to show as donations, like other donations do from zelle or bank transfers. I have paypal set to go to "donations," not sales. I am not sure how to solve this problem.

Sales Receipts for donations

I am assuming "go to donations" means an income account titled donations

 

QB works on items, edit the item you use for donations and insure it is linked to the income account you want it to post to

Sales Receipts for donations

Yes, I have an income account called Donations.

 

I actually thought I had solved my problem because when I went into Products/Services, I found that my service Donations was going to sales. So I changed it to Donations (in COA). However, these donations are still showing as Sales on the statement of Activities.
