Gifts, pledges and pledge payments entered with campaign, fund and appeal codes.

In-kind donations valued and recorded the way your auditor expects. Matching-gift claims logged against the original gift. Event registrations, sponsorships and auction purchases entered after the gala. Volunteer hours captured by program. Attendance, membership changes and contribution statements for churches. Program outcomes entered into your case management or outcomes system for the grant report. Each record type has a checklist, every batch is checked against its source, and the team lead samples entries weekly. Bad data is expensive here: a duplicate household gets two appeal letters, a wrong fund code misstates restricted revenue, and a missing soft credit loses a corporate match. Plain definition ## What are data entry services? Data entry services are the keying of information from one place into another: paper forms into a database, PDF invoices into accounting software, business cards into a CRM, survey answers into a spreadsheet. A good data entry service adds validation rules, a second-person check and a batch log, so the output can be trusted without re-checking every row yourself. ## What tasks does data entry cover for nonprofits and churches? - Gift batches entered with campaign, fund, appeal and tribute codes - Pledges and pledge payments recorded and reconciled to the schedule - In-kind donations logged with description, donor valuation and date - Matching-gift claims and soft credits attached to the original gift - Event registrations, sponsorships and auction results entered post-event - Volunteer hours captured by program for reports and grants - Church attendance, membership changes and contribution statements maintained - Program outcome data entered for funder reports with a source file kept ## The KPI that matters here Entry accuracy on the weekly sample and the number of duplicate households remaining in the database. Both should fall month over month until the sample is clean. ## What rules does data entry follow for nonprofits? 1. **IRS acknowledgment rules and Form 990.** Donor acknowledgments follow IRS Publication 1771: a written receipt at the threshold the IRS sets, the goods-or-services statement on quid pro quo gifts, and the date and amount recorded. Assistants send letters from your approved template and gather Form 990 schedule data for your accountant, and never give tax advice to donors. 2. **State charitable solicitation registration.** Most states require a charity to register with the attorney general or secretary of state before soliciting, and many require annual renewal. Assistants calendar the renewals and prepare the forms; signing and filing stay with your leadership or counsel. 3. **Donor calls, texts and card data.** Nonprofit calls carry some exemptions under the FCC's TCPA rules, but every outbound campaign still goes out with lawful consent and do-not-call scrubbing. Card details are never taken by phone; donors give through your PCI-scoped giving platform. UK charities also follow the Fundraising Regulator's Code of Fundraising Practice and UK GDPR. ## Nonprofits software we work in - [Salesforce](https://assistbpo.com/software/salesforce/) - [Mailchimp](https://assistbpo.com/software/mailchimp/) - [QuickBooks Online](https://assistbpo.com/software/quickbooks-online/) - [Google Workspace](https://assistbpo.com/software/google-workspace/) Also in use - Bloomerang - DonorPerfect - Planning Center - Givebutter [See all 80 tools we work in](https://assistbpo.com/software/) ## More for nonprofits and churches Other services for nonprofits - [Appointment setting](https://assistbpo.com/industries/nonprofits/appointment-setting/) - [CRM management](https://assistbpo.com/industries/nonprofits/crm-management/) - [Social media assistant](https://assistbpo.com/industries/nonprofits/social-media-virtual-assistant/) - [After-hours answering](https://assistbpo.com/industries/nonprofits/after-hours-answering/) - [Client intake](https://assistbpo.com/industries/nonprofits/client-intake/) - [Virtual assistant](https://assistbpo.com/industries/nonprofits/virtual-assistant/) - [The nonprofits pod](https://assistbpo.com/industries/nonprofits/) Data entry in other industries - [Education & tutoring](https://assistbpo.com/industries/education/data-entry/) - [Law firms](https://assistbpo.com/industries/legal/data-entry/) - [Recruiting & staffing agencies](https://assistbpo.com/industries/recruiting-agencies/data-entry/) - [Property management companies](https://assistbpo.com/industries/property-management/data-entry/) - [The full data entry page](https://assistbpo.com/services/data-entry/) ## Frequently asked questions ### How do you avoid creating duplicate donor records? By searching before entering, every time, using the matching rules your database supports: name plus address, email, phone and household links. Event imports and online gifts are checked against existing records before they are merged in, and the specialist runs a duplicate report weekly and merges confirmed matches following your rules on which record wins. New duplicates found and duplicates merged are both counted in the weekly report so you can see the database getting cleaner. ### Can you enter data for our grant reports? Yes. Program staff hand over attendance sheets, intake forms, surveys or case notes, and the specialist enters them into your case management or outcomes system or the funder's template with the source file kept beside the entry. Totals are checked against the sheets before the report is assembled. The specialist does not interpret outcomes or write the narrative; that stays with the program lead. The value is a clean, checkable dataset ready before the deadline. ### Do you handle church contribution statements? Yes. Weekly offerings, online gifts and special collections are entered by giver and fund in Planning Center, Breeze or your church management software, with anonymous gifts handled the way your finance committee decides. At year-end the specialist runs contribution statements, checks a sample against the deposit records, and prepares them for mailing or emailing with the wording your treasurer approves. Questions from members about their statements go to the treasurer with the record attached. Next step ## Your desk, staffed. Wherever you are. Tell us what is overloaded.
