Our online giving forms can support your goals!

Main Giving

Minimize the number of clicks, reduce friction and increase your conversion rates by keeping your main giving form simple and on brand.


This form will be embedded on your site so you don’t have to send your donors to a third party site that could potentially confuse them or cause them to abandon the process of making a gift.


Make fields collapsible if they’re not required so they only appear when necessary while the rest of your form stays clean and sharp!

Customize Forms for Specific Use-Cases / Appeals

Are you securing donors for multiple causes such as study abroad scholarships, endowments and memorial giving, or a parent or faculty giving fund? Design your custom form and embed it directly within the page that addresses why donors should give to that cause.

Keep movement fluid rather than redirecting your donors to one main giving form and keep the process easy for them instead of making them do extra work searching around your website for how to appropriately designate their funds.

Use Case:
Membership

Simplify Membership giving by allow users to join or renew in as little as one-click! Leverage custom membership forms for your specific needs. You have unlimited, tiered, flexible membership levels.

New Donors: In some cases, you may need a form that asks personal information or shows all membership levels.

Renewing Donors: In other cases, like when you are emailing a known constituent, you can easily bypass all personal information (and even select their membership level) to allow for an extremely streamlined membership process.

Auto-renew: Allow donors to join and have their membership auto-renew each year.

Use Case:
Current Student Giving

If you are trying to boost giving from current 
students and recent graduates, we can help!

Let’s face it: your main giving form is not easy to use–it asks too many questions and that doesn’t work well on mobile. It 
likely doesn’t leverage the payment methods they use on mobile, like Google 
Pay or Apple Pay.

Simplify giving flows for current students and young alumni, with super-fast forms and easy payment methods like Cash App.

Custom Donations Helps Texas A&M Outraise UT 6 to 1 in Their Rivalry Fundraising Challenge.

For the week prior to their 2024 rivalry game, Texas A&M and the University of Texas participated in a Rivalry Fundraising Challenge, seeing who could raise the most gifts.

The results? Texas A&M received over 6 times as many gifts, with the challenge ending at 2,250 gifts to 367.

We increased available payment methods.

We almost doubled the amount of donors increasing their gift size to cover transaction fees, resulting in thousands in extra dollars.

And we made it super easy for the team to launch a fully custom and branded giving form within their own site.

We can help your next campaign. Happy to offer a risk-free test drive in A/B test against your current system. If you already use Stripe, then it only takes a few minutes to set up!
