# Receiving Donations

Once you have created a donation, it is not automatically considered to be received by the organization.

When a donation has been created, you can then click the checkbox in the Received section, which will open a pop-up.

Now you can enter the amount received, any invoice number, and the date.

This will now appear in your reporting as a received donation.
