Include earlier gifts or corrected affiliations in an ordinary offer

This article covers GiveCampus campaign administration. Available controls can vary between the classic and redesigned campaign interfaces.

Changing an ordinary offer's start date, or correcting a gift's affiliation after processing, does not automatically backfill its progress. First identify the qualifying gift IDs and check whether they already counted. For an editable offline offer, open the matching record and reconcile Nummatches and Value using the field meanings above: a per-donor match needs the qualifying donor progress and corresponding earned matching dollars; a challenge uses its qualifying donor/dollar progress, with zero Value until its threshold is met. Do not substitute the campaign's total fundraising amount.

During normal automatic processing, an ordinary challenge that reaches its threshold sets its award Value to Max and contributes its award under the counting rules. Do not add the same award as another offline gift. A manual edit of Nummatches is not the normal qualifying-gift processing event and is not a guarantee that every related value or report association rebuilds; verify the saved award and totals or have Support complete the reconciliation. Online donor-created offers require Support for progress/eligibility corrections. Winner Takes All has a separate winner-approval workflow.
