Short Answer
Donation dates should be entered in the format yyyy/mm/dd, as specified in the BDOI® import template.
Detailed Explanation
The first column of the provided import template is labelled:
Donation Date (yyyy/mm/dd)
This means the date should follow the year/month/day format.
For example, a donation made on 6 August 2026 would be represented as:
2026/08/06
Using a consistent date format helps the import system interpret historical donation dates correctly.
