Everything you'll need to request a DEAR, including required data and where to go
A DEAR report is created using a series of transactions - for example - donations over time, membership payments over time, purchases over time, etc.
Requesting a DEAR
You can request a DEAR from the analytics page on our platform.
Simply click 'Get DEAR' to get started. This will take you to the DEAR request form where you'll need to manually enter some additional information, and select which report sections you'd like included. The report sections include 'Donor Categories', 'Donor Personas', and 'Donor Behavior.'
Click 'Generate DEAR', and on the next page you'll be prompted to upload the data we will use to create the DEAR.
