TormanoRelationships and households are a Nonprofit edition feature. Link any two constituents with a relationship type, and it shows on both records and can be searched.
Relationship types
Spouse, Partner, Parent, Child, Sibling, Friend, Colleague, Employer, Employee, Manager, Assistant, Referred By, Referrer, and Custom. Choose Custom to type your own label, such as Godparent, for that one link.
Adding a relationship
Open a contact and use the Household & Relationships panel on the right. Click + Add, search for the other contact, choose the type, and save. Also show on the other contact is on by default, so linking Anna as Bob’s spouse adds Bob as Anna’s spouse. Manage every link in one place at Constituents > Relationships.
Households
A household groups related contacts, usually a family, under a shared address and tracks their combined giving. Manage households under Constituents > Households. Each member’s page shows the household and its other members in the same panel.
A household is independent of the relationships above: you can have a Spouse relationship, a household, or both.
Why it matters
Once relationships exist, a report like major donors with siblings on our board is one filter away.
