How do I manually add pledges from email or paper to a campaign, and can I start the campaign at $0 then add existing amounts?

Verified answer · Added May 28, 2026

Answer

Pledges from paper/email are manually entered via Donations > Pledge Campaigns > Pledges tab > Enter Pledge. To start at $0, set the campaign start date to today so past donations don't auto-count, then manually enter existing pledges from the Pledges tab.
