Donations / Wish List

If your organization takes donations, whether they be monetary or material, you can manage both with the Donations and Wishlist Module.

Donations

If you already have an Online Payment Gateway such as PayPal or Authorize.net set up, you can take advantage of the monetary donations module right now! Simply head to the Donations and Wishlist module and copy the Donations URL located towards the bottom of the page. Add a link to the navigation, or to individual pages using the Website Content Manager.

Wish List

If your organization is looking for specific items, you can add them to your Wish List, letting donors know and giving them the option to give you money, or purchase an item from your Wish List.

To set up the Wish List, navigate to the Donations and Wish List module. From here, click the Add New Item link, or click Change next to the item you'd like to update. On the next page you'll see the following options:

• Item Name - The name of the item you would like the donator to donate.
• Item Description - A brief description of the item
• Donation Page Verbiage - This is a great area to tell the visitor why you need this particular item. Some organizations find that making this area about how the item will help, along with photos of the people it will help can be very effective.
• Item Price - The price of the item.
• Quantity Needed - If you need a set number of items, for example table settings for a shelter, the number of items you require would go here. The MMS will keep track of how many have already been purchased towards the goal. If the item you need is a consumable, and a constant supply is required, check the Unlimited Quantity box.

Simple Process - All donation information is gathered on one simplified page.

Donor Tracking - Connect donations to individual members and contacts within your database. Allow members to enter their email address instead of logging in to track donation back to associated member record.

Donation Types - Choose between Simple Donation (default), Memoriam, In Honor of, and Bequest.

Memoriam/Honor Indicator - This label can be changed by an admin, so you collect details about who their donations are being made in honor of.

Purpose of Donation - Donors can include a note about their donation.

Gift Amount - You can establish pre-selected amounts for donors to choose from or they can enter any dollar amount.

Individual Campaigns/Funds - Create separate fundraising funds to allow donors to target donations to a particular campaign.

Anonymous Donors - Allow donors to anonymously give without making their donation available publicly, which also excludes them from mass emails, marketing campaigns, etc.

Recurring Donations - Include the option to establish recurring monthly donations (Authorize.net payment gateway with a CIM setup required).

Custom Confirmation/Thank you - Customize the verbiage in the thank you email that is automatically sent to a donor after they have make their donations.

Goal Tracking Thermometer Graphic - Post a thermometer graphic on your website to illustrate progress towards a fundraising goal.
