Will offline donations that are uploaded count towards Matches and Challenges?

Yes, offline gifts activate matches and challenges as long as they meet the qualifications of the match or challenge. Offline gifts are not represented in the matched gifts section on the donation details page, but you will see them added in the audits.

Offline gifts do NOT count towards first-time donor matches and challenges, even if they’re entered using the name and email of a donor who would count. Only online gifts count into first-time donor matches and challenges.
