We are a nonprofit organization. How do I correctly account for multiple anonymous donations in Quickbooks Online? 

Best answer by PreciousB

You came to the right place, kwksmedia.


I’m here to help you record the multiple anonymous donations in QuickBooks Online (QBO).


You can create a dummy customer for the anonymous donors. If you got the donations from an event, use the event’s name as the donor name.


Once done, enter a sales receipt to record the donations.


You can follow the steps I’ve laid out below:


To create a donor:

 

  1. Select Sales on the left pane, then choose Donors.
  2. Click the New Donor button.
  3. Enter the needed information.
  4. Click Save.

To enter a sales receipt:

 

  1. Click the Plus sign icon at the top, then choose Sales Receipt.
  2. Under Choose a donor, select the dummy customer you’ve created a while ago.
  3. Enter the needed information.
  4. Click Save or Save and new.

That should work for you. I’m confident that you can successfully enter the donations in QBO. If you've got other questions, feel free to leave a comment below. I’m always happy to help.

You can do one sales receipt for that date without a name on it at all, as a Summary of Donations that come through anonymously or from a portal.
