# How do I find people who have not made a donation since a particular date?

You can find all people who have not donated since a specific date, then add them to a group for follow-up, outreach campaigns, or relationship management. This is useful for identifying lapsed donors or targeting re-engagement efforts.

## Creating a Report
1. Select **Reports** from the main menu
2. Under **Report areas**, select **People**
3. Click **Add finance criteria**
4. Select **No transactions**
5. Set the **date** options:
    * Choose later than to find people with no donations after a specific date (e.g., January 1, 2023)
    * Or choose earlier than to find people with no donations before a specific date
6. Enter your **date**

8. Click **Select fields** and choose which contact **information** to display (name, email, phone, etc.)

## Viewing Your Results
Your report will display a list of contacts who match your criteria (no donations since your chosen date).

* To view on screen, click **Show**.
* To download as Excel or CSV for your records, click **Export to Excel** or **Export to CSV** (see [Exporting a Report](/v1/docs/exporting-a-report)).
***
## Adding Results to a Group
To add these contacts to a group for follow-up (for example, to send them an email or invite them to a giving campaign):
1. Click **Choose a group to add the results to**
2. Either:
    * Use an **existing** group — select the group from the dropdown
    * Create a **new** group — enter a name for a new group (e.g., "Lapsed Donors 2024")
3. Set the group **permission** to apply to all contacts
4. Click **Save**

The contacts will be added to the group with the selected permission level.

## Alternative: Find by Total Transaction Count
If you want to find people based on how many times they've given (rather than when they last gave), use the **Total Transactions** criteria instead:
1. Follow the steps above, but in step 4 select Total Transactions
2. Choose an option:
    * **Greater than** — find people who have given more than X times
    * **Less than** — find people who have given fewer than X times
    * **Equals** — find people who have given exactly X times
3. Enter the **number** (e.g., 1 for single-gift donors, 5 for regular donors)
4. Click **Generate results**
***
## Use Cases
* **Re-engagement campaigns** — find donors who gave more than 2 years ago and send them a thank-you and update on your impact
* **Lapsed donor outreach** — identify people who gave regularly but have stopped, and reach out personally
* **Giving milestones** — find single-gift donors and invite them to become recurring supporters
* **Stewardship** — create a group of donors by recency and manage relationships accordingly
