The Gifts report lists every gift to your venue for a date range — the ones your staff recorded, the ones patrons added at checkout, and the ones imported from a previous system — and keeps imported money out of your raised total.
Open the Reports hub (Reports in the admin sidebar) and click Gifts under Development.
This report needs the Donor data permission. Without it the page shows "Failed to load the gifts report."
Filters
| Filter | What it does |
|---|---|
| From | First day to include |
| To (exclusive) | The day after the last day to include. To cover all of June, set it to July 1 |
| Fund | One fund, or All funds |
| Appeal | One appeal, or All appeals |
| Source | All sources, Checkout add-on, Recorded or Imported history |
The dates open on your venue's current season, or the year to date if no seasons are set up. Click Apply after changing a filter.
Totals
Four tiles sit above the table:
| Tile | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Raised | Money raised through Noctern — gifts your staff recorded plus gifts added at checkout |
| Imported history | Gifts brought over from a previous system. Kept separate, and never added to Raised |
| Gifts | How many gifts |
| Donors | How many different donors |
The tiles follow the dates, Fund and Appeal, and count completed gifts only. They do not follow the Source filter — choosing a source narrows the table underneath, while the tiles keep showing the whole picture. The Gifts and Donors counts include imported gifts.
Columns
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Date | The date of the gift |
| Patron | The donor. Click the name to open their patron record |
| Fund | The fund the gift was given to |
| Appeal | The appeal it was a response to, if any |
| Source | Where the gift came from — see below |
| Amount | The amount of the gift |
| Acknowledged | Yes once an acknowledgment has been sent, otherwise No |
The Source column is more specific than the filter:
| Source column | Meaning | Matches the filter |
|---|---|---|
| Checkout | Added to a ticket order at checkout | Checkout add-on |
| Import | Brought over from a previous system | Imported history |
| Donate page | Given on your venue's donation page | Recorded |
| Manual | Entered by your staff | Recorded |
| Box office / POS | Taken at the window or the door | Recorded |
| Ticket refund | A refund the patron turned into a gift | Recorded |
The table can list gifts that are not completed — a voided gift, for example — while the tiles count completed gifts only. If the rows add up to more than Raised, that is why.
The report lists up to 2,000 gifts. For a longer period, narrow the dates and run it in parts.

How this differs from Development reports
| Gifts report | Development reports | |
|---|---|---|
| Where | Reports hub → Development → Gifts | Fundraising → View reports |
| Best for | Every gift, by fund, appeal and source, with imported history separated | A quick total, donor rankings, and lapsed-donor lists |
| Permission | Donor data | Exports |
Reconciling a campaign? Pick the Appeal, set Source to All sources, and read Raised — it is that appeal's total without imported history mixed in.
