The Site Manager's Donations component allows for the creation of campaigns to manage general ongoing stewardship as well as target campaigns.
Offline donations, such as check or cash, can be entered under "Donations" -> "Transactions" so the campaign progress meters and charts accurately reflect total donations, both online and offline.
The showcase website provides a demo of how campaigns can be used on your website:
