There are important differences behind the scenes between giving as a guest or giving anonymously. Both Guest Gifts and Anonymous Gifts use the Process Pending Gifts function in CDM+ Contributions.
- With a gift that is not anonymous, the entered giver name and address are passed into CDM+.
- With an anonymous gift, the Billing name/address is NOT passed into CDM+ and the “Process Pending Gifts” process shows these as coming from an “Anonymous Giver”.
In either case, the Process Pending Gifts function will require you to link the gift to a Giving Unit in CDM+ Contributions. You may:
- select an existing Giving Unit
- create a new Giving Unit
- or use a catch-all for Non-member or Visitor Giving
