There are several ways to look up a prior donation within Ludus. Check out the dropdown boxes to find the best method for you.

### Donation Page (Recommended for recent donations)

If a donation was made recently, you can easily look it up by navigating to **Fundraising** --> **Donations**. This will show a log of the most recent donations made. Simply scroll until you find the donation you are looking for. Click the three vertical dots to view the details page.

### Search Bar (Recommended if the donation is attached to a patron name)

The search bar is a powerful tool that allows you to search for patrons, prior orders, donations, passes, and more. To find a previous donation, click the 🔍 in the upper right-hand corner of the screen and enter the patron name.

From here, click the **Donations** tab and select the donation you'd like to view. You can also select the **Patron** tab to view the patron's full profile (which displays all transaction history).

### Donation Report (Recommended if you only know the date a donation was made)

If you are unable to look up the donation by patron name, you can search by date using our Donations Report.
