NPSP can create soft credits for a Contact when the Contact is a:
- Member of a donor’s Household
- Primary Contact on an Organizational Opportunity
- Honoree or Notifications Contact on an Opportunity
- Related Contact on a Relationship record with an Individual donor
- Contact on a Affiliation record with an Organizational donor
Soft Credit can also be assigned automatically for Matching Gifts
Soft Credit Rules have an order of precedence to avoid duplicating the soft credit.
