Required Fields:

  • Pledge Identifier – A unique number assigned to each pledge, used to track payments that offset the pledge balance. 
  • Fund
  • Donor Name
  • Amount
  • Pledge Date

Optional Fields:

  • Description
  • Due Date
  • Discount Rate
  • Payment Start Date
  • Number of Payments
  • Payment Frequency
  • Campaign
  • Appeal
  • Tribute Type
  • Soft Credit Allocation


Entering Pledge Payments

To enter a pledge payment that offsets a pledge, select the Gift Type as "Pledge Payments." Other required fields include Donor Name and Pledge Receivable (Pledge Identifier). Complete the remaining gift information and click Create to finalize the payment.


ADAVICO Alert
ADAVICO is not responsible for corrections due to incorrect donors, descriptions, or other discrepancies. Please review your data carefully before posting to the Subledger.


Verifying Pledge Activity

For clients using our Stewardship & Donor Management module, you can verify pledge activity by donor by navigating to the Contact record and scrolling down to the Pledge Receivable Summary section. This section displays the original pledge amount, remaining balance, and the fund assigned to the pledge.


For fund-level pledge activity and balances, you can also run a Pledge Receivables report under the Finance & Endowment Management → Reports → Fund Balances section.
