Offline Pledges The Offline Pledges section allows you to enter donations received by cash or cheque into the system, consolidating these with the online donations that people have made on your behalf. There are a number of benefits to entering offline pledges for all involved:

Benefits for the Organization.  Entering this information online reduces administrative costs for the Organization and can save on mailing costs by being able to send e-Tax Receipts (if enabled by the organization).

Benefits for you.  Earn credit card reward points for donations you pay for using your credit card (if applicable). It also allows these pledges to be immediately reflected in your Donation History and Fundraising Thermometer.

Benefits for the Donor.  If electronic tax receipting is enabled by the organization, donors that gave you cash will receive their Tax Receipts more expeditiously as they can be sent electronically through the system.
