Anonymous Donation Data Element

The Anonymous Donation data element allows your donors to choose whether or not to allow public recognition for a donation to your form. You can use this element to allow or disallow recognition in printed materials, announcements, or online materials but it is not tied to any online feature.

Typically, the Anonymous Donation element displays below the giving level element.

You can retrieve the donor responses to whether they would like their contributions to remain anonymous by downloading the Donations by Transaction Report.

Note: Do not use this element for recognition if you are setting up a TeamRaiser or Tributes campaign. If setting up a donation form for those applications, use the TeamRaiser/Tributes Recognition Name element, since that element is tied to the Honor Rolls in those applications.

When editing the Anonymous Donation element in the Form Designer or from a Preview, you can customize the label that identifies the field on your donation form as well as the label that identifies it on the Transaction Summary. You can also enter the text for the actual checkbox, add a donor hint message, and decide whether to make this field required.
