    Currently our organization has to use Google Groups for intra-committee emails/discussions, as there is no equivalent option available within WA. This becomes a major headache when one has members self-editing their personal profiles, including, for example, committees of interest. We have to periodically compare many committee interest checkboxes for our members to the mailing lists on our admin managed Google Group lists. Huge headache reconciling the two and thus a major impediment to prompt response to the selected preferences of new, continuing or departed members. The best workaround to your so limited email system is to set up group or committee specific email templates, each with a BIG button for "REPLY TO GROUP HERE". That button can have a group or committee specific email address that goes to all who have made the self-selection in WA. Any further replies to the replies then, of course, go just to that specific selection. This might work, but is cumbersome for the committee chairs, etc. So, please brainstorm on how to incorporate a more equivalent function to Google Groups!

    We're considering to take Donations during registrations/applications into development right now, but during analysis of the feature we ran into an issue where we would love to hear your feedback.


    Essense of question: how would you like donations during applications or registration to be processed for offline payments (when your member/prospect decided to get an invoice and pay later)?


    Some more details:

    We can implement donations during event registrations/membership renewals for online payments - not a problem. 

    But when we're talking about offline payments, straighforward solution seems to be a bit expensive - we don't have invoices for donations or pledges yet.


    So right now we're considering going on with straighforward online payments solution (donation will be added to payment transaction) and for offline payments - just include an invoice memo to buyer to add $XXX to his payment as donation for event/membership he has selected. 


    This way administrators would…

    I realize you've heard this before, but one simple improvement of great value would be to setup a system allowing simultaneous donation (as a split charge) when members are renewing or joining. This used to be a good contribution source for us, mainly due to rounding up, but also due to a few large donations, but without that option available we're now looking at pushing a new end-of-year campaign specifically to make up for missed donations. THANKS!
