Add ability to to make additional donations download as separate gift record from online registration form

When someone signs up for my event through my NXT online registration form and also gives an additional donation, it comes into batch as a split gift and is all counted as a payment towards the registration fee. This makes it really hard to pull what's an additional event donation and what's a registration fee. I need the additional donation to show up as an additional gift towards the event by creating a separate gift record from the registration fee gift record.

    This continues to be a headache for us. We need the donor experience to be easy - to have the option to donate while signing up for an event, it's a standard function to have. However, when it comes through as a ticket purchase and donation all in one line item, the Gift Subtype is all wrong. As others have pointed out, we can't report appropriately on transactions that are mixed like this. I end up having to go into every single transaction and make an adjustment to move the donation money out and re-enter it in a new batch. This creates extra work that Finance and I don't have time for, on top of creating messy records.

    We need to be able to create separate entry fee and donation gift entries in order to move forward with NXT Event forms. We need to be able to track the donation as a seperate line item.

    To enable us to collect Gift Aid on a donation element of a payment (Gift Aid is a significant income in the UK, allowing us to claim 25% of the donation), we need to be able to create separate entry fee and donation gift entries

    It is essential that we are able to create separate entry fee and donation gift entries in order to move forward with NXT Event forms and enable us to claim GA on any donations added to registration fees

    We need the ability to create separate entry fee and donation gift entries. You could do this in Raiser's Edge/using OLX, so I don't understand why this vital functionality hasn't been implemented in NXT. Charities risk missing out on Gift Aid without it.

    We do not use split gifts in our organisation, we have to have registrations and donations as separate gifts, so this is really causing us a problem, as you can't even change it in web view gift batch, the credit card gifts are locked

    Yes, this would help streamline the processing event/gift processing for us.

    My Finance team is concerned about this one. They need to be able to see the total event revenue and reduce that by the contributions so that they can report our income accurately to the IRS. We can't do this when our donations are merged with event registrations.
    We also have FE, and have not figured out how to post over registrations + donations to Finance accurately, because they don't want contributions included, and we can't split a subtype. (We would not want to do that.)

    Along these same lines, please allow business rules in NXT Events so that the registration fee is NOT required to be automatically placed in the gift record.

    Yes please!! Running these gifts through the event form means that it takes them completely out of our normal batch processing, and it becomes a bit of a nightmare.

    Yes! Please do this!!

    The concept of split gifts is nice when you're looking at a gift record only. The moment you need to extract that data for reporting, it becomes a nightmare.
