When a Constituent is added to Donorfy via the Online Fundraising integration, their Date of Birth (DOB) is not included. Online Fundraising does not currently support mapping DOB into Donorfy.


Why Date of Birth Is Not Imported

Online Fundraising does not pass Date of Birth as a standard field through the integration.
Because of this, Donorfy cannot automatically populate the DOB on the Constituent profile.


How to Add Date of Birth Manually or in Bulk

Although DOB is not supplied directly, you can calculate it using the Constituent’s National ID number (CPR).

CPR Format

The first six digits of the CPR represent the donor’s Date of Birth in the format:

ddmmyy

For example:
120585xxxx” DOB = 12/05/85 (12 May 1985)

Adding DOB to Donorfy

You have two options:

  1. Bulk update using the File Updater

    • Download the CPR data from Online Fundraising.

    • Extract the first 6 digits to calculate DOB.

    • Use the File Updater to add DOB to multiple Constituent profiles.

  2. Manual update

    • Extract DOB from the CPR and enter it manually into each Constituent record.

To update constituent profiles see here: Updating Constituents using the File Uploader.

⚠️Important:
The Online Fundraising integration is a Professional only feature. Danish Essential subscribers, please contact us to find out more about upgrading.

Other requirements: the integration only applies to Online Fundraising version 4 and later. Prior versions cannot be integrated.
