To track a check that includes donations from several donors for a specific program, the consultant should configure GAU Allocations and Partial Soft Credits in NPSP. Here’s why:

GAU Allocations:

General Accounting Unit (GAU) Allocations are used to track how donations are allocated across different programs or funds.

This feature allows the nonprofit to specify which portion of the check is designated for the specific program, providing clear tracking and reporting.

Partial Soft Credits:

Partial Soft Credits can be used to attribute portions of a single donation to multiple donors.

This feature allows the nonprofit to recognize each donor for their contribution while keeping the accounting of the total donation intact.
