Wallace,

   SQL-Ledger will allow you to handle the church's finances in any of several
ways. I would urge you to speak to the accountant and ask her how she
prefers to have donations tracked. They could easily be considered
customers/clients and an A/R record for each established. This would provide
reports on donations (as customer/client payments) as statements that can be
printed and sent periodically.
