What information is available in the Giving Basket donor data?

This FAQ addresses Give Lively’s role in processing donations through Charity Navigator’s Giving Basket and may not apply to all Give Lively members.

Giving Basket donor data is available through a secure portal and reports powered by Give Lively. It includes the data detailed below about the lump-sum payments (made by check or by Stripe Transfer) generated by Giving Basket donations.

Through the Giving Basket, a donor may make one or more contributions at the same time (in one single “order”). In the case of multiple donations, they may all be to your nonprofit or to several nonprofits. When a donor makes multiple contributions, even if they are all to your nonprofit, each donation is catalogued as a separate line item in the larger order. (Your donor data reports will always only show donations/line items benefiting your nonprofit, never those of another nonprofit, even if they were made in the same order.)

Line items can vary in amount and frequency, and have different dedications. Line Items can also indicate financial information such as the gross amount a donor contributed, payment processor transaction fees and any refunds that may have been applied.

There are two levels of data:

On-screen reports
