Hi, I would like to request the option of additional Donation fields, so unique donation options can be offered on different forms.

Hi, Becky

Thanks for bringing this up again and sorry for a late reply.
We have started development of related improvement — donation form customization, which will allow to have multiple independent donation forms.
This doesn't cover your request completely, but I hope it will help with p. 1.

Bringing the need for multiple donation types into 2017 . . . I'm summarizing a request from 2 years ago:

1. We need to be able to create multiple donation types, with unique fields applicable to each particular type. At present we have to use radio buttons for donation type, which the donor must wade through and make a selection.

2. Donation type needs to be a macro for automated and manual emails.

3. Donation type needs to be a search criteria and print criteria in the "advanced search" section for contacts.

4. Donation type needs to appear in the "donations" standard financial reports. We need to be able to select donation reports by type, date range, member; and to export that information to create our own excel report.

My organization also would like separate donation forms as we cater to individuals, clubs, businesses and allow corporate sponsorships. It is currently too confusing for potential donors and members to wade through all the options in one form. Thank you.

I need this desperately as well. I have 3 different fund categories. To display them all on a single form where the member has to weed through a large web form to find "General Fund", puts a lot of folks, especially those of the age group that like to donate to charity, in a situation where they need to understand the technology of working on a computer. If we were able to simplify the display of the donation form to match the categories and each category displays whatever fields in the web form appropriate for that category, then life would be good! Please make it happen.

Yes, this would be a great feature

I would like them to be optionally hidden as well. For example, some campaigns can be generic and then the date filters could work, but some do not happen every year. But they would still be visible in the donation drop down. Obviously we need to keep them for internal purposes, but it is confusing to keep them visible if they are not be used at all anymore.

Every item in this post is almost exactly what we need

Hi there,

We could really use separate donation gadgets as we have multiple donation campaigns going on at the same time.

Donations are a priority for our organizations.

First, I haven't been able to take out a range of donations by date or amount. Is it possible that this isn't an option at present? Now I just export ALL donations to Excel and chop off what I don't need.

Second, we need to be able to sort donations by type, member et cetera. Especially as our organisation has 2 entities: one is tax-deductible and the other is not (depends on purpose of donation - some of our projects are overseas and not eligible).

Now we can just auto-send a generic donation receipt and our bookkeeper has to create a manual receipt for tax purposes as needed. If donors could choose donation destination and get a receipt in accordance with that destination that would be very helpful (also would help our bookkeepter sort donations!).

Unlimited donations:
1. We need to be able to create multiple donation types, with unique fields applicable to the particular type. At present we have to use radio buttons for donation type, which appear for all donations but not in the standard donations listing or reports.
2. Donation type needs to be a macro for automated and manual emails.
3. Donation type needs to appear in the "donations" category, and we need to be able to select donation reports by type, date range, member; and to export that information to create our own excel report.

Jon - when we take the suggestion into work, we will analyze all the comments and decide on particular solution. Until then, I cannot really comment - only ask questions.

Having separate, customizable forms would indeed be wonderful since the organization I'm involved in sometimes uses multiple "categories" for our donation purposes.

I'm also wondering if it might be possible to implement some kind of conditional logic in the forms. You already include something similar to that in the membership area: if a person selects membership level A, they would see these fields, but if level B is selected, then different fields are presented.

So if you could implement a "donation level" and then allow fields to display (or not) for one or more of those levels, then that would serve the same purpose. Would it not?

Our organization needs to be able to have separate donation forms. Sometimes we require additional information that is specific to the fundraising campaign.

I assume that you use special field with the list of funds. You can use more generic name like "Playground fund raiser" and then use date filter in the gadget settings. For each year you just change the gadget goal gadget setting to use appropriate date filter.

Can it work for you as a work around?

Not programming - but to our Roadmap, see http://help.wildapricot.com/display/DOC/Product+roadmap

It'll take time until actual programming.

Hello - We now have 10 different individuals making requests for unlimited separate donation forms. We're told 10 is the magic number to be elevated for programming!

Please advise on what we can expect regarding this request. Thank you!

We could really use customizable donation forms. We were just discussing today using WA for a new donation campaign but we don't want to mess with our main purpose form.

Being able to create different forms for different events or campaigns would be excellent.

We need to be to mark the donation with something so we can identify what the donation was for. I ditto the comment about customizable fields reflected also on the receipt so the donor will see his 'purpose' on his receipt.

I echo Becky's plea. See my posts in 2012 and 2014. We have multiple causes to donate for and multiple ways of donating. We never even started with the donor forms because it is impossible for the current option to work for us. But the only thing we need is the ability to make unique donor forms with choices and a fill-in option. Right now we track things through Giftworks and Quickbooks, and make individual forms on our website, with each cause on different pages, and separate Authorize.net and Paypal buttons. Would be so much easier to do it all through WA. And their workaround with membership forms does not work for us. We already have many membership classes, and additional membership forms would be a nightmare.

There must be many more out there who take donations and need this option. Please, somebody, chime in.

I am sending out an appeal to all - if you need the ability for separate donation forms please make a request to WA. We have 3 different donation types, and must list them all on a single donation form with radio buttons for the donor to select. Then we have to give them directions to be able to select the correct donation category.

Additionally, with one of our donation types, we encourage members/contacts to make a gift donation in someone's name, and we want to include those custom fields on only the one donation form that a gift donation would be applicable. If you have similar needs, please respond! WA says this is not on the development list until one more client makes a request. This is really important to us, and I assume to others as well. Thank you!!
