Donations

Donations are income to the org that does not count toward anyone's dues. Examples: a brother chips in $50 for a memorial event, an alum sends $200 toward a scholarship, a parent throws in $100 for homecoming.

Stored in a separate collection from regular payments so the audit trail keeps "dues collected" and "donations received" cleanly separated.

/log_donation

Record a donation.

Usage: /log_donation <amount> <purpose> [donor_member | donor_name]

What donations are NOT

• Not dues credit — even a brother's donation doesn't reduce their dues. If they want it to count toward dues, use /log_payment instead.
• Not refundable through the bot — to refund, you handle it on the Slash side; the bot's /undo_donation just removes it from books.
