report of charitable contributions

[Harold]

Johnny, I forgot to ask - what is ledger [1] and what do you mean 'install ledger'? I know how to not compress gnucash but unsure about the other stuff.

Another option is to use ledger [1] which can read uncompressed gnucash
and do highly customised filtering and reporting. In gnucash, chooose
the option to not compress gnucash, install ledger then do something
like this from the command line

,----
| ledger -f /path/to/your/uncompressed-file.gnucash reg -w -- .*charit.*
`----

This will list all transactions where the recipient contains
"charit". Does this meet your need?
