Regular Giving

What is it about

Although the NFP sector has started to involve their supporters in many different ways, i.e. sponsorship events,
volunteering, donation giving is still considered to be the main form of giving – and in particular, regular gifts. It is
essential that organisations are able to communicate with these supporters and offer the best service possible in order to retain them and upgrade them.

Why our clients need this

As regular giving is an important form of giving for our clients, it is vital that the system can support all aspects of this – quick processing, third party capture, processing of income, finance requirement and analysis requirements.


alms.NET provides templates for quick capture of agreements, import of standard industry files such as Standing Order bank files, ARUDD, ADDACS files and Payroll Giving transactions files. Rules have been built in for each type of Regular Giving method to assist with bank reconciliation e.g. Direct Debit Processing – The full claim amount is passed to the Finance system on the debit side. When the ARUDD file is processed the negative amounts are then also passed to the Finance system on the debit side.


Predefined faceting, such as Cost Centres/Teams, Income Streams, is available for management reporting.
