Give donors more choice over where their gift makes an impact with a simple, modern way to support one or multiple funds in a single donation.

• Customize every fund — Add images, labels, descriptions, and individual DonorPerfect coding for each fund.
• Support recurring Split Fund giving — Create separate recurring plans for each fund, giving donors more flexibility to manage their ongoing support.
• Built for DonorPerfect — Each fund syncs as its own DonorPerfect gift using its configured coding, with support for recurring pledges and DonorPerfect Split Gifts.

If you're currently syncing to DonorPerfect using Givecloud’s legacy method, you now have the option to enable Standard Sync — a more structured, modern way to sync your gift data.

• Standard Sync is already the default for new Givecloud orgs, and it’s designed to:

• Sync a clean set of predefined fields to DonorPerfect

• Reduce mapping errors and manual setup

• Keep your donor data more consistent and easier to work with

✅ What's Changing (If You Switch)

• You no longer need to manually map core gift fields

• Gift data syncs in a streamlined, best-practice format

• Custom fields and additional tracking (via GC Meta Data) still work

• Donor Covers Cost (DCC) is included as part of the gift (not a separate gift)

⚠️ Once Standard Sync is turned on, it can’t be turned off — so you’ll be asked to confirm before anything changes.

🔧 How to Turn It On

Go to Settings → Integrations → DonorPerfect, and select the Standard Sync option. We’ll show you exactly what’s changing before you confirm.
