In this recording, I'm going to show you
how to add a new contribution to the
campaign finance reporting system. Once
you've logged in, navigate on the left
hand side the contributions tab. As you
can see, I've already added an inind
contribution and a monetary
contribution. On the right hand side,
you can see the running total of all
transaction.
To add a new contribution, in the upper
right corner, I'm going to select new
transaction. There's an option for
contributions, expenditures, or loans
received. In the popup window, I'm going
to select the election type. The
contributor type, whether it's a
monetary itemized contribution or an
in-kind contribution, such as goods and
services.
You'll enter the contributor code,
whether it's a candidate or the
committee themselves, an individual
other than the candidate or committee,
or other, such as a business, nonprofit,
or organization.
As you can see, I don't
have this contributor already added, but
if I did, you would see an automatic
popup of all the contributors in the
past.
I'm going to add a new contributor for
the purposes of this video.
You'll need to enter the employer.
There and enter the occupation or
industry.
Try to find the best occupation or
industry that fits best for this
employee. You're going to enter the
contribution amount,
the date of the contribution.
You can enter a check number if you'd
like or a description if you'd like, but
those aren't required fields, but it may
be helpful to the auditor and for
yourself to keep track of your
contributions. As you can see up at the
top, it does tell you that the
contribution has been added and needs to
be filed on the first campaign
disclosure statement.
And as you can see, there's that new
contribution that I've just added for
Stephanie Garcia. On the right hand
side, you'll also notice that Stephanie
Garcia and her contribution of $50 is
also recorded.
