Fundraising overview and campaign pages show figures in tiles and chart columns that count or total your records. Use this reference to confirm what each figure measures, including which records it includes and excludes, before you rely on a number in a board conversation.
Tip
Each figure comes from a reporting copy of your Fundraising records, not from a live read each time you open the page. Rhythm keeps a calculated figure for up to one day and reuses it during that time, so a new gift or pledge can take up to a day to appear.
Donor Counts
| What it counts | Parameters |
|---|---|
| Every donor record in your Rhythm account | None |
| Donors of one type, individual or organization | Donor type |
A donor counts even if they have never given, so a donor record with no gifts still appears in this total. The all-donors figure and the by-type figure both use the display name Donor Count, so if you see it twice in a picker, check which version you are choosing.
Campaign Counts by Active Flag
| What it counts | Parameters |
|---|---|
| Campaigns marked active | Active flag |
| Campaigns marked inactive | Active flag |
This figure uses each campaign’s active flag, not a separate status field. If a drill-down from one of these tiles opens a different set of campaigns than you expected, check the campaign’s active flag instead of looking for another status.
Gifts After a Date
| What it counts and totals | Parameters |
|---|---|
| Gifts dated after a given date, across all funds | Start date |
| Gifts dated after a given date, for one fund | Start date, fund |
The comparison is strictly after the start date, so a gift dated exactly on that date is excluded. On the Fundraising overview, the last-12-months tiles use a start date of twelve months before today, recalculated each time the page loads. A refunded gift still counts in the total because this figure adds what was given, not what remains after refunds.
Gifts for a Campaign
| What it counts and totals | Parameters |
|---|---|
| Gifts attributed to one campaign | Campaign |
This figure powers a campaign’s giving totals on its own page. It also powers the amount-raised progress on a public donation form for a campaign when the giving process is set to show campaign progress. A gift counts toward a campaign only through the gift’s own campaign field; a split portion credited to a different fund on the same gift does not create a separate row here.
Pledges for a Campaign
| What it counts and totals | Parameters |
|---|---|
| Pledges attributed to one campaign | Campaign |
A cancelled pledge still counts in this figure. If you need only open pledges, use Outstanding Pledges or search pledges by status directly.
Outstanding Pledges
| What it counts and totals | Parameters |
|---|---|
| Open pledges, across all funds | None |
| The pledged amount of open pledges, across all funds | None |
| The pledged amount of open pledges, for one fund | Fund |
Outstanding Pledges Totals What Was Promised, Not What Is Still Owed
This figure adds each open pledge’s full pledged amount, not its remaining balance. A pledge for 1,000 with 900 already paid still contributes the full 1,000 to Outstanding Pledges. A pledge in any status other than open, including paid, cancelled, or paused, is excluded entirely, so a paused pledge that still has money owed does not appear here.
Recurring Gifts by Status
| What it counts and totals | Parameters |
|---|---|
| Recurring gifts in a given status | Status |
| The per-installment amount of recurring gifts in a given status | Status |
The amount is each recurring gift’s per-installment amount, not an annualized total. That means a $100 monthly recurring gift and a $100 quarterly recurring gift contribute the same amount to this figure, even though one gives four times as often. For the statuses a recurring gift can have, see Recurring Gift Fields, Statuses, and Frequencies.
Giving by Month
| What it breaks down | Parameters |
|---|---|
| Giving by month since a given date, across all funds | Start date |
| Giving by month since a given date, for one fund | Start date, fund |
This figure powers the giving chart on the Fundraising overview. A month with no gifts does not produce a row, so the chart fills the visible gap instead of showing a zero row from this figure directly.
Campaign Giving by Month and Appeal
| What it breaks down | Parameters |
|---|---|
| One campaign's giving, by month and by appeal | Campaign |
This figure has no start-date parameter, so it always returns every month since the campaign’s first gift. A gift with no appeal appears under No appeal instead of being excluded. This figure powers a campaign’s progress chart, where selecting a bar opens the underlying gifts for that campaign and appeal.
