Include Soft Credit?

When selected, this checkbox indicates that soft credit gifts will be applied to this club.  

If this checkbox is cleared, soft credit will not be applied to the club.

A donor gives $500 and also receives $500 in soft credit from another source. That donor would qualify for a club and any levels within it with a minimum gift of $1000 if it includes soft credit. If the club does not include soft credit, the donor would not qualify.
