Join nowwe are a non-profit that receives unrestricted donations from various external platforms and check payments. I enter the donations via the bank deposits form and select a donor name from the list of donors (or add a new one). Unfortunately, the donor name doesn't appear on reports. Is there a work around that doesn't require me to enter an invoice for every donation and then apply the payment to that donation?
If not, then Quickbooks online is really useless for non-profits as we are required to report the $ value of donations by donor and entering an invoice and then applying a payment to it is utterly inefficient.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I can share with you some alternatives to record donations without creating an invoice, @Kim Simons.
You can enter a donation as a sales receipt or bank deposit in QuickBooks Online. In doing so, ensure to associate this with the customer's name.
If you record the contribution as a bank deposit, you can pull up a transaction list by customer. To do this, here's how:
If you enter the donation as a sales receipt, you can generate the Sales by customer report or other sales report in QuickBooks Online. For more insights about the process, please check out this article: Run reports.
Additionally, you can memorize your report to save it with its current customization settings.

Perfect! Thank you!!
Can you also tell me how to do this with QuickBooks Desktop?
Thanks!
Hi there, @sbaker1.
You can use the same report as QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). I'll guide you on how to pull it up from your QBDT file.
If you've used deposits to track the donations, you may also run the Deposit Detail report.
I'm adding this link for more tips about personalizing your reports in QBDT: Customize reports in QuickBooks Desktop.
Moreover, you can save the current customization settings of your reports for future use. Use this article as your guide: Create, access and modify memorized reports.
Leave a comment below if you have any other questions about QBDT reports. I'm always here to help. Have a good one!
Thank you. The Deposit Detail report is what I needed. Thanks so much!
You can create real donor statements, even when recording donations as deposits, using our BRC Donor Statements - QB Online tool. It will create statements with many options to choose from that are ready to print and mail.
