Household Settings

You can configure settings for constituent households on the Household Settings page. To access the Household Settings page from Constituents, click Household settings under Configuration.

Under Default household name format options, you can view the default name format options set for constituent households. When your organization communications with a household, Altru uses these defaults to create addressees and salutations for the household.

Note: You cannot associate revenue transactions with a constituent household, so households cannot have a constituency of Donor. To associate a transaction with a household, associate it with a member of the household. You can use recognition credits to recognize the amount of revenue your organization receives from the household in terms of its members’ giving.
