Online Donations—Donation History Help

Getting Started

The Donations application on ChurchofJesusChrist.org allows you to access your donation history in real time and also allows you to print your own donation statements. To make a donation, visit donations.churchofjesuschrist.org.

Click My Account and Ward and then the Donations link under the My Ward section. You will be prompted to use your Church Account username and password to access the system.

The Donation History page is offered in the following languages: Albanian, Armenian, Bulgarian, Cebuano, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Mongolian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Samoan, Spanish, Swedish, Tagalog, Thai, Tongan, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese. Please select your preferred language in your Church Account profile.

Donation History (donations.churchofjesuschrist.org)

This page allows you to see all your donations, including those made in your current ward or branch as well as contributions made in any previous wards or branches you attended. You can view your donations for specific date ranges and categories, such as tithing, fast offerings, or the ward missionary fund.

Summary View

In Summary view, you can see and print a list of your donations for the current or previous year, or you can enter a custom date range. The list shows:

• The date of the donation.
• The source of the donation:
  
  • Donation at your ward or branch.
  • A donation at the Church Administration Office.
  • Online donation (where available).
• The status of your donation:
  
  • Completed—Your donation has been received and recorded and is now complete.

Category View

In Category view, you can see and print a list of your donations by donation category for the current or previous year, or you can enter a custom date range. The list shows:

• The categories you donated to during the selected time period.
• The amount of the donations made in each donation category during that time period. For example, you can view and print the total amount of tithing and fast offerings you have donated since the first of the year.

Settings

In Settings, you will be able to review your name, member record number, email address, and other information specific to you. You will be able to change the settings for automatic email notifications, select whether or not your spouse’s name appears on donation slips and donor statements, allow your spouse to see donations made under your name, and decide whether your financial statements need to be printed by your ward.

Donor Details

The Donor Details section shows your name, address, ward or branch, stake or district, member record number, and email address. To make changes to your name, address, or assigned ward, branch, stake, or district, contact your ward or branch clerk. You can make changes to your email address and preferred language through your LDS Account.

Preferences

The Preferences section allows you to select whether to display your spouse’s name on donation slips and donor statements, to authorize your spouse to view your donations, and to print your own donation statements or have your ward print them for you.

To add your spouse’s name to donation slips and donor statements:

1. Click the Display spouse name check box in the Preferences box.
2. Click Return to Make a Donation. This option is only available if you entered this screen by clicking the help (?) icon next to your name on the donation slip. Otherwise, select one of the left menu options to exit Settings.

(NOTE: While your spouse’s name may appear on donation slips and statements, donations are recorded to individual membership records.)

To authorize your spouse to view your donations:

1. Click the Allow spouse to view my donations check box in the Preferences box.
2. Click Return to Make a Donation. This option is only available if you entered this screen by clicking the help (?) icon next to your name on the donation slip. Otherwise, select one of the left menu options to exit Settings.

Selecting this option will allow your spouse to view your donations when he or she logs in to the Donations page, and it will also generate donor statements for both spouses.

If you will print your own donation statements, click the My financial statements do not need to be printed by my Ward check box. If you do not check the box:

• Your ward will print a year-to-date donation statement for you and give it to you before tithing declaration.
• Your ward will print a donation statement or Official Tax Statement (as applicable in your country) for you and give it to you in January.

(NOTE: The process to obtain Official Tax Statements varies significantly by country. Please contact your ward clerk for additional information on how the process works in your country.)

To display the welcome screen each time you enter the Donations site, click the Display welcome screen when entering online donations check box.

Notification Preferences

The Notification Preferences section displays your email address and gives you the options of receiving email notifications with updates and general information.
