# Merge Staff Couple Gifts

When two single staff members marry, DonorWise retains the information for the staff members as if they were still single. That is, gifts received by the singles would show up on their former contact IDs and gifts since the marriage would be on the husband's alone.

To allow the <Designation> tab to show all gifts for the couple, even from before the marriage, DonorWise has a Merge Gifts feature.

When you press <Merge Gifts (Staff Only)>, DonorWise will update the gifts in the Gift table. For each gift (to the wife only, since the husband's are typically already pointed to the correct designation), DonorWise will add the redirected designation, and keep the original designation number as well.
