Getting Data Out of NGP
There are two ways you can get your data from NGP.
- Contact NGP and request that they provide an export of your data. This is preferred because the data they provide will contain links between transactions that can help ensure the imported data matches your prior filings. You can request that they shut your account down and provide the data via the Additional Feedback section here.
- Manually export the data from NGP. This method isn’t ideal because the data won’t contain all the linking info for things like subvendors. No linking info is fine for prior reports, but additional manual entry may be needed for current reports or amendments.
Start by opening the Create A List tool and running a search without selecting any options. This should return a search result containing all records. Click Export on the My List screen and select Standard Text Export from the Export drop-down menu. If you have the option to customize which fields to include, we recommend including all fields.
To export Contributions and Disbursements, go to the Report Manager tool and select the report you want. For Contributions, select Contribution Report. Check the date range to make sure it includes the full history. Make sure to also click on Edit Columns and the columns you think you will need (we recommend all). When ready, click Export As and select the file format. We recommend .csv or Excel, but any standard options should be fine. For Disbursements, repeat this process with the appropriate report(s) as needed until you have all your data.
