Chapter 12: Declarative Tools and Modules
In the previous three chapters, we installed NPSP and the additional features available for PMM and V4S, configured the fundraising features for NPSP, and completed the configuration for PMM and V4S. Declarative tools and Open Source Commons modules are additional ways to extend the functionality of NPSP based on a nonprofit's specific use cases and business processes.
In this chapter, we will learn the following:
- What customizable rollups are and when they should be used
- Matching gifts – how and when they apply to donations
- Grantmaking capabilities and how to use the Open Source Commons' Outbound Funds Module
None of these tools are required for NPSP to work; however, when they are needed, understanding what they do and how they do it will make NPSP tremendously better.
