To ensure that the person being honored by a tribute gift consistently receives the proper soft credit, the nonprofit should set up Automatic Opportunity Contact Roles in NPSP and configure the Honoree role. This automation ensures that the honoree is always credited appropriately without manual intervention.

Steps:

Navigate to NPSP Settings > Donations > Automatic Opportunity Contact Roles.

Add a new Contact Role with the role type "Honoree."

Set the role to be automatically assigned to Opportunities that meet the criteria for tribute gifts.

Test the configuration by creating a new tribute gift and verifying that the Honoree Contact Role is correctly assigned.

Train staff on how to use the new setup to ensure consistency in data entry.

When setting up the process for importing lists of Contacts into Salesforce Campaigns using the NPSP Data Import tool, it is essential to consider how Campaign Members are created and matched.

Key Considerations:

Automatic Campaign Member Creation (A):

The NPSP Data Import tool will automatically create Campaign Member records for the imported Contacts with the default Member Status. This helps streamline the process of adding members to campaigns.

Exact Name Matching (D):

Existing Campaigns in Salesforce are matched by exact Name. This means that the names in the CSV files must match the names of the Campaigns in Salesforce exactly for the import process to associate Contacts with the correct Campaigns.

Steps to Set Up:

Prepare CSV Files:

Ensure that the Campaign names in the CSV files exactly match the names of the Campaigns in Salesforce.

Include all necessary fields to map Contacts to Campaign Members.

Configure NPSP Data Import:

Navigate to NPSP Settings -> Data Import.

Ensure the settings align with the import requirements, including handling duplicates and respecting duplicate matching rules if enabled.

Perform Dry Run:

Use the NPSP Data Import Dry Run feature to validate the import configuration and ensure that the Campaign Member Status and other settings are correctly applied.

To ensure the campaign for monthly project updates to donors who have given 10 or more times stays current, the consultant should:

Create a Contact Report:

Create a report on the Contact object and include a filter to display only those contacts whose total number of gifts meets the criteria (10 or more).

This filter ensures that only the relevant donors are included in the report.

Run the Report Monthly:

Schedule or manually run the report each month to get the updated list of donors.

Use the "Add to Campaign" button to add the contacts from the report to the newsletter campaign, ensuring the campaign list stays current with donors who meet the criteria.
