Givecloud Product Updates

Sponsorship Status Improvement

Improvement

Dan Ramdial

We've improved tracking for the 'is sponsored' status of your children.

There's a new setting that allows you to define the number of sponsors required per child before a child is considered sponsored. For example: maybe it takes 4 sponsorships before a child is considered sponsored. Givecloud can properly track that a child is only fully sponsored when that threshold is reached.

Check Sponsorship Settings for more details.

DP Improve TY Letter

Bug Fix

Josh Bloomfield

We patched TY Letter Codes so they never get pushed to your DP system as a blank string. Prior to this fix, if you didn't set a TY Letter Code, TY Letter Code would be pushed to DP as a blank string which was causing reporting problems in DonorPerfect. We've patched this to push null as per conversations with the DP product team.
