Allowing users to unlink an event sponsorship gift and convert it into a standard donation—while still retaining the original payment recorded through an event registration form—would significantly improve data accuracy and workflow flexibility in Raiser’s Edge NXT

Sometimes sponsorship payments are mistakenly categorized or later need to be reclassified due to donor intent, accounting requirements, or internal reporting needs. Today, correcting these entries often requires voiding, recreating, or manually adjusting gifts, which increases the risk of data inconsistencies, duplicate transactions, and reconciliation challenges.

By enabling a seamless conversion that preserves the original payment record, organizations can maintain financial integrity, keep accurate audit trails, and ensure donor histories remain consistent. This feature would greatly benefit fundraisers, finance teams, event managers, and database administrators by reducing manual cleanup work and making it easier to maintain clean, reliable records. Overall, this enhancement would streamline gift management and provide users with a much more efficient and error‑proof way to correct sponsorship entries without disrupting payment data.
