1. Access the Donor Analytics Dashboard

Log into your SayPro account and navigate to the Analytics or Donor Reports section. This area houses all donation data, including trends, donor engagement, and contribution amounts.

2. Set the Date Range for January

Filter the donation data to include only the donations made during January by setting the date range filter:

This will isolate donations made during this specific month and ensure you’re calculating the average for January only.

3. Calculate the Total Donation Amount for January

SayPro’s analytics tools can aggregate the total donation amount for the selected time period. Look for a summary or total donations metric for January:

• This value represents the sum of all donations made during the month.

4. Determine the Total Number of Donations

For example, if the total donations in January are $50,000 and there were 500 donations, the average donation amount would be:Average Donation=50,000500=100\text{Average Donation} = \frac{50,000}{500} = 100Average Donation=50050,000​=100

This means the average donation amount for January would be $100.
