Donor wants to combine personal and organizational contributions. Is that ok?

by Katy

We have a member who donates to the church with a personal account, and they also run a non profit organization and contribute from that account as well.

I have always entered them seperately and they get two contribution receipts at the end of the year.

This year, he asked me to combine them. Is that ok or do they need to be kept separate?

Thank you for your help!

Personal accounting records should be kept separate from organizations accounting records.
Do as you have been doing; it is correct policy.

You're correct; he's wrong; maintain your reporting.
