Fund Connections are used to link a fund to related records, such as contacts, donors, or constituents. These connections can give us more information about the fund and its relationship to other records, and can also control key functionality - such as who receives printed fund statements or who is granted access to the fund through GOfund. This Knowledge Article covers setting up Fund Connections.
