What is DONAR?

If you're the fiscal manager of a large charitable payroll deduction campaign, or an employer handling charitable distributions for your own internal workplace campaign, you know how overwhelming the quickly rising stacks of paper pledges can seem.

Here's the best news we can give you about digging out from under your seemingly endless data processing chores: it doesn't have to be that way, because help is on the way!

DONAR was developed by Community Shares of Illinois, a federation of more than 70 non-profit organizations, as a way to improve the efficiency, integrity, and accountability of workplace giving campaigns.

DONAR is the first software package designed from the ground up exclusively for fiscal managers of charitable payroll deduction campaigns. By combining powerful electronic data import/export capabilities with streamlined data entry routines, DONAR can significantly reduce the time (and money) you spend managing your mountains of workplace deduction data. At the same time, DONAR's unique donor confirmation system dramatically increases your ability to catch data entry errors at the beginning of campaigns, when they are the easiest to correct.

And DONAR doesn't stop once the pledge forms are entered! The same power and flexibility that DONAR brings to pledge data entry can also be used for processing deductions from employees' paychecks. This unique front-to-back combination makes it possible for the first time ever to track every penny of every deduction from every paycheck of every donor!

DONAR's comprehensive reporting system makes it easy to provide your recipients with completely transparent information covering both pledges and payments. And by directly cross referencing individual payroll deductions with their original pledges, you can quickly calculate accurate disbursements to charities based on the monies actually received, without the need for unfair shrinkage formulas or "guesstimates."
