Is it possible to transfer excess funds in a Missionary account to another church account such as Fast Offerings or Humanitarian Aid?

We have a missionary account that the family put too much money into -- and did so just 2 months before the end of the mission. The family expresses interest to move those excess funds to either Fast Offerings or Humanitarian Aid, but there appears to be no way to do that in LCR.

Is there a way to do that? What do you recommend?

You can't transfer the funds.

You might be able to reclassify the donation, but it's likely that was done in 2021. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to make a change to donations in the prior year.

I believe the funds can be transferred to another missionary account or to the top level ward mission account to help another missionary (or even to the stake mission fund). Since it is all the Lord's work, I personally don't worry about where the funds end up for my donations.

To clarify: you can't transfer the funds the way you're wanting to. (to Fast Offering or Humanitarian Aid)

You can transfer them the way davesudweeks has suggested.
