Hello Juliana,
I am supporting the Omni Commons finance working group. It would help to
know what
form did the donation transaction happen? Was it through our
donation portal founded on our website? Or possibly delivered in check/cash
form? Other details Shirlee stated above will also help in the search.
Happy to track the donation and then authorize a receipt :)
