# Gifts overview

> Every recorded contribution and recurring subscription across your contacts, with running totals and powerful filters.

The **Gifts** page is your complete giving record—every one-time gift and recurring subscription across every contact, in one place. Open it from **Gifts** in the sidebar.

## Two tabs

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="All gifts" icon="hand-holding-dollar">
    Every one-time contribution on file.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Recurring" icon="arrows-rotate">
    Ongoing subscriptions. The tab shows a badge with the active count. See [Recurring gifts](/gifts/recurring-gifts).
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## The numbers at the top

Six stat cards summarize your giving at a glance:

| Card                 | What it shows                                      |
| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| **YTD total**        | Raised this calendar year, and the number of gifts |
| **Average gift**     | Across every gift on file                          |
| **Largest gift**     | The biggest single gift, and who gave it           |
| **Most recent gift** | The latest gift and its date                       |
| **Unique donors**    | Distinct contacts with at least one gift           |
| **Active recurring** | Subscriptions currently charging                   |

## Finding gifts

Use the controls above the table to narrow the list:

* **Search** by contact name
* Filter by **Designation**, **Account**, **Method**, or **Type** (contact type)
* Set an **amount range** (min/max) and a **date range** (start/end)

A **Clear Filters** button appears whenever a filter is active. The header shows the count and total dollars for whatever is currently filtered.

<Tip>
  Filters carry through to **Export**—so you can filter to exactly the gifts you want, then export just those. See [Editing, refunding & deleting](/gifts/manage-gifts#exporting-gifts).
</Tip>

## Reading a row

Each row shows the **date**, **contact** (click to open their profile), gift **type**, **amount**, **method**, **designation**, and **account**. The actions on the right depend on your permissions—edit, refund, or delete.

<Note>
  **Designations** and **Accounts** are your own lists, managed under **Data Management → Lookup Tables**. A gift with neither shows a dash. See [Lookup tables](/data-management/lookup-tables).
</Note>
