As a nonprofit, our member dues are tax deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law and as a result of this status, we need to our membership receipts to be donation receipts. But at this time, WA sees member dues and donations as separte and distinct. Only donations receive a numbered receipt. Even our event "fees" are donations, these also need to be invoiced accordingly as well.
As a result, we end up manually sending out the proper receipts using a second donor database (giftworks). I'd *love* to get rid of this redundant database and migrate all our contacts to WA.
What do you think?
Sorry - I can't tell how to reply to the thread.
I actually think it's more than just an issue of a numbered invoice. There should be a way to opt-in to count membership dues as donations. Having the differentiation that a particular donation determines membership status is better than two separate systems. Even with the updates to date, this issue isn't resolved....
