Acknowledgement Letters
You can generate, edit, and print PDF development acknowledgment letters in Axiom, merging in fields relevant to the particular donations.
Auto-Recurring Donations
Some pledge installments are guaranteed to be paid on-time in a recurring nature, the most common example being payroll deductions. In order to reduce data entry, these pledges can be marked as auto-recurring so the system will create donations automatically on the installment date for the installment amount.
Donations
There are many different kinds of donations a school can receive. For any donation there are some standard pieces of information that should always be entered.
