Click the Contacts icon in the sidebar.
Select Obligation Templates.
Click on Add Obligation Template.
Select the activity account type from the drop-down menu.
Next name the obligation as you would want it to show on a Contact’s statement. For example, “Annual Dues”.
Next, enter how much is Owed by Contact, money the contact needs to pay (i.e. membership or dues) or enter how much is Owed to Contact, money that needs to be paid to the contact (i.e. refund or credit from fundraising).
The Due Date is the date you want this obligation to start. Note: your obligation will not show on the statement until the start date.
Determine whether you want this obligation to be repeated. The default is set to “None”.
Now click Save.
Tips for Obligation Templates:
If you have made an error in your Obligation Template and need to change it, go to Obligation Templates.
Click Edit next to the Template you want to change.
Make any changes and click Save. It will then ask you if you want to Update Obligations using this template. If you choose to do this, MoneyMinder will update ALL Contacts you’ve assigned this obligation to.
While in the Edit area of the Obligation Template you can also click Delete to delete the template entirely. If you choose to do this, it will ask you if you want to delete all of the obligations that use this template. Note that this cannot be undone.

I wonder if there’s a typo in this article; look at the last sentence:
“Not that this cannot be undone.”
Perhaps you mean:
“Note that this cannot be undone”
That would change the meaning
Good eye Phill. And thanks for bringing that to our attention. You’re absolutely right. That is something that cannot be undone.
Hello Support
How can I email all contacts, not just paying members?
We need to solicit from non paying residents, please.
Hi Deborah,
As long as all of your contacts have email addresses entered and have Member Activity accounts, you can create a statement template and send it to all of your contacts by clicking the Tools in Contacts and choosing Bulk Email Statements from the dropdown. You can personalize the statement in any way you’d like.
