A gift category component 2 is the second of two components that make up a gift category. Component 2 codes narrow down the destination or purpose of gifts in that they are more specific and give more detail as to what the gifts will be applied. Component 2 codes are defined using the Category Component 2 window.
There are no system or program-required rules for how you define these codes; however, your organization may have special reporting considerations. If so, then how you define these codes should be consistent with and reflect those needs. Remember that the system stores them in an alphanumeric column, which means they can contain letters, numbers, and any alphanumeric combination.
It is important to keep the following principles in mind as you are defining these codes:
1. Where component 1 is very broad, component 2 can be narrower. At the same time, it allows more use of components 2 as they can be married multiple times with components 1.
2. Letters, numbers, or a combination of both can be used as building blocks.
Below are three types of codes that could be assigned to identify the component 2:

These examples can be further subdivided to reflect particular specific fund designations. The current examples are for noting cash gifts. For non-cash gifts, you should use SUB-CLASS on the Gift Entry window to note all non-cash gifts rather than having a special INKIND Component 1 or 2. |
