Several new features are rolling out this month for users of ORCA (Online Reporting of Campaign Activity). Here are some of the highlights:

In Contributions

  • You'll find a new web-based user interface for entering monetary, in-kind and anonymous contributions, as well as contribution refunds.

  • You can also import a CSV (Comma Separated Values) list of monetary contributions. The system will create new contacts, if needed, from your spreadsheet and check for duplicate contacts based on similar names.
