Design Donation Form: Designations and Giving Levels

For information about how to create or edit a part, as well as the tabs on the Edit Part screen, see Create and Edit Parts.

1. Under Designations, click Add Designation to choose each fund donors can associate with gifts. The Fund Search screen appears.
a. After you select a fund, in the Display Name field, enter the name of the fund to appear on the website.
b. Select the Default checkbox for the fund to apply gifts to if donors do not select funds.

To provide multiple funds for users to select from, click Add designation and repeat these steps to create another entry. When you do this, the Support multiple designations checkbox appears.

c. To allow users to write in funds other than those provided, select Allow other designation.
d. To include in the list the funds the donor has previously contributed to, select Include donor’s prior gift designations.

If you select this checkbox, the list displays funds from the donor’s last 50 gifts.

e. To allow users to donate to multiple funds, select Support multiple designations.

When you select this checkbox, Add to Cart appears on your website. Similar to purchasing items from a store, users select the funds to donate to.

2. Under Giving levels, to select a giving level for your donors, click Add giving level.

When you include giving levels and select Support multiple designations, each donation made to a fund is considered for the giving level. For example, if a $500 donation is required for Gold status, and a donor donates $250 to the 2008 Annual Fund and $250 to the Building Equipment Fund, the donor does not receive Gold status. If the gift is one $500 donation to the 2008 Annual Fund, the donor receives the Gold giving level status.

a. In the Display name field, enter the name of the giving level as it will appear on the website.
b. In the Amount field, enter the gift amount for the giving level.
c. To include a blank $ Other field on the Donation page, select Allow other amount.
