Giving

No personal information is stored about your donors within Google Sheets. This is by design to keep everything as anonymous as possible when viewing and sharing data.

You are required to be a Giving Admin for this connector to work.

The PCO Giving connector supports downloading your donations in a transaction list. If your donors give to more than one fund in a transaction you'll see this broken into separate lines.

Setup

Enable this module within the Settings screen of the sidebar. You can follow the instructions in step 2 of the configuration guide.
