Not all our money received is a straight forward 'gift'. Payments are received in return for an auction prize/ place in an event/ to cover costs for a place. Therefore we need to differentiate these from the normal 'gifts' (donations). When I pull a report to see who has donated over £5k in the last year, for instance, it pulls up all the payments received for auction prizes etc, which are not direct donations, and should not therefore be included in a top donor list.
