# Manual Gift Entry Form

The Manual Gift Entry Form enables quick entry of gift for those users serving in ministries which do not have automatic download and do not receive a file from their organization. Indeed, it is this feature that makes TntConnect particularly useful for any missionary, in any organization. In alphabetical order it lists all partners who have given in the past 13 months.

Menu Path: Tools | Manual Gift Entry Form

The Manual Gift Entry Form provides a list of all contacts who have given in the past 13 months. If a contact has given their first gift this month, their name will appear above the dashed line. (If there are no gifts in the current month, the form—shown below—will be blank, so you can enter the gifts.) You can enter gifts specific by currency.

This form is most likely to be used by a missionary whose organization does not have web download available and sends the missionary a printed report. This form is designed for quick entry of an entire month's donations. When a missionary has no gifts for the month yet (for example, they only enter gifts once per month), the Gift Input Form will have no amounts, just recent donors. This will allow for quick entry of donations.

| If you have not entered gifts for the month, you can press this button to duplicate all gifts from the previous month. This is particularly helpful when you receive roughly the same gifts every month (e.g., via electronic funds transfer). You can add/remove any gifts as needed.
| Since your list will only include those who have given a gift in the past 13 months, you may need to find an existing contact to add a gift. Select a contact from your database to add to the Gift Input Form. Note: This does not add contacts to your database.
| Duplicate the line you currently have selected, to add a second gift for the selected contact

If you receive printed donation summaries from your organization, it is likely you will receive these after the month end. In that case, you can select a different month to input gifts.
