Contribution type
Money, time, skills, goods and amplification retain their different meanings.
STATIC Support Action
A correctly typed act of participation, with its own meaning and obligations.
INSIDE STATIC SUPPORT ACTION
Purpose, systems, and connections.
Support Action distinguishes charitable gifts, personal fundraising, purchases with a cause component, patronage, sponsorship, investment, volunteering and other contributions. The type determines what the participant is actually doing.
Relationship
Recipient and participant understand the nature of the action.
Resulting record
The action connects to an appropriate receipt or participation record.
How it connects
A purchase, investment, pledge or fundraiser contribution does not become a charitable donation simply because it supports a cause.
