Grain:
CONTACTS — one row per giving unit (household or organization). CONTACT_INDIVIDUALS — one row per person within a contact.CONTACTS is the giving unit — every gift, pledge, and recurring commitment belongs to a contact. This page maps all tables that hang off the contact: the people within it, stewardship activity, memberships, engagement statistics by segment, and receipting history.
Key rule: Gifts belong toCONTACTS, notCONTACT_INDIVIDUALS. Email is sent to individuals. Always join toCONTACT_INDIVIDUALSwhen you need a person’s name or email address.
Solid lines — required join (FK always populated). Dotted lines — optional join (FK is nullable; always use LEFT JOIN).
