In this chapter, we learned how to use CiviCRM for fundraising. In particular, we discussed the basics of developing a fundraising plan and the factors to consider when selecting an online payment processor. We saw how to configure CiviContribute and CiviPledge and manually record donations and pledges. Finding, examining, and acting on contributions and pledges and implementing a fundraising appeal is what we looked at next.
In the next chapter, we will discuss how your organization can track memberships and subscriptions using CiviCRM, and how to use contribution pages to enable your constituents to purchase and renew them online.
