Ability to add Non-Deductible accounts to eRA calculations

Finance

We have several long-time members who faithfully give through non-deductible charitable trusts, so we set up separate non-deductible accounts to record these gifts. Rock does not currently count non-deductible gifts in the eRA calculation, and we don't record adult attendance at weekend services. Therefore, if the families are not checking in kids (which most aren't because they are empty-nesters), they do not receive eRA status even though they are some of most faithful givers and attenders.

We would love to have the option to include specific Non-Deductible accounts in eRA calculations.
