How should I structure Funds for one-off or annual special collections in Giving, and how can I add context that shows on donor statements?

Answer

Use descriptively named funds (close when not in season, reopen as needed) — the fund name is what shows on donor receipts and statements. Memos only work for online giving, not batch/cash/check entry; labels are admin-only and not donor-visible.
