"Thanks!! I love the software and it has made our small charity a delight to manage. I also recommended it to a client, who then purchased the full package and has used it successfully to manage thousands of donors, create very professional letters and significantly improve their operation."
FundRaiser can create queries based on a combination of gift date range and donor source code. If you want to see who came to your organization during that dinner, you can set a query based on the "Annual spaghetti dinner" code and the "date added".
You can also use the same technique with a category code. For instance, create a category code of "spaghetti dinner". Then if you want to see how many people attended the big dinner of 2011, you can query based on a combination of the category code "spaghetti dinner" and any donation dated during that event in 2011.
