To ensure that the person being honored by a tribute gift consistently receives the proper soft credit, the nonprofit should set up Automatic Opportunity Contact Roles in NPSP and configure the Honoree role. This automation ensures that the honoree is always credited appropriately without manual intervention.

Steps:

Navigate to NPSP Settings > Donations > Automatic Opportunity Contact Roles.

Add a new Contact Role with the role type "Honoree."

Set the role to be automatically assigned to Opportunities that meet the criteria for tribute gifts.

Test the configuration by creating a new tribute gift and verifying that the Honoree Contact Role is correctly assigned.

Train staff on how to use the new setup to ensure consistency in data entry.
