Key features of this online foundation donation form template
Everything you need to launch this form in minutes, share it with your team, and collect submissions reliably.
Preset and custom amounts
Show suggested gift tiers ($25, $50, $100, $250) alongside a custom field. Tiers anchor donor decisions — most foundations see a 15-20% lift in average gift after adding them.
One-time and recurring in one form
A single radio toggle lets donors choose monthly, quarterly, or annual giving without sending them to a separate page. Recurring donors are worth roughly 5x a one-time donor over their lifetime.
Tribute and memorial gifts
A conditional section appears only when the donor checks the "in honor of" box, asking who the gift honors and whether to notify the family. Keeps the form short for everyone else.
Fee-coverage opt-in
Donors can add 3% to cover processing so the full intended amount reaches your foundation. Nonprofits using this option report 40-60% of donors say yes.
Matching gift capture
An employer field lets you flag double-the-donation opportunities at intake instead of chasing them down later.
Mobile-first donor experience
Large tap targets, autofill-friendly inputs, and a layout that reads cleanly on a 5-inch screen — because that is where the link will be opened.

Ways to use this template
Annual end-of-year campaign
Roughly 30% of annual giving happens in December, and a large share of that on the last 2 days of the year. A single mobile-friendly donation form embedded in your year-end appeal email keeps the path from "I should give" to "done" under 60 seconds.
Memorial and tribute gifts
Families often direct memorial donations to a foundation in lieu of flowers. The conditional tribute fields let donors name the honoree and request that the family be notified — without making every other donor wade through irrelevant questions.
Designated program funds
A community foundation managing 20 different funds can route gifts to the right program with one dropdown. The treasurer sees exactly which fund each gift belongs to instead of guessing from the memo line.
Board and major-donor solicitation
Send a personalized link from a board member to a prospect. The "How did you hear about us?" field captures attribution so you know which board members are actually moving the needle.
Recurring monthly giving program
Convert a one-time donor into a sustainer at the moment of highest enthusiasm. The frequency toggle on the same form removes the friction of a second visit and a second decision.
Matching gift capture at intake
When a donor enters their employer at the time of giving, your team can follow up the same week with the matching-gift paperwork instead of discovering the opportunity 6 months later.
Workflow integrations
Connect this form to your existing tools with no middleware. Every submission triggers your workflow automatically.
Real-time sync
Data appears in your CRM or spreadsheet within 1–2 seconds of submission — no cron jobs, no delays.
Conditional routing
Route submissions to different Slack channels, HubSpot pipelines, or Airtable bases based on field values.
Two-way data flow
Pre-fill form fields with CRM data for returning visitors. Update existing records instead of creating duplicates.
Why choose Flexform?
Frequently asked questions
Does this template actually process payments?
The template handles donor intake — name, amount, frequency, and tribute details. To complete the charge, connect your existing Stripe, PayPal, or processor account via webhook, or use the form to capture pledges and follow up by invoice. Many small foundations start in pledge-only mode and add a processor later.
Can we change the suggested donation amounts?
Yes, and you do not have to be technical to do it. Open the form in the FlexForm editor and type "change the donation amounts to $50, $100, $250, $1000" — the AI updates the field for you. No code, no support ticket.
How do we accept recurring gifts?
The form captures the donor's intent to give monthly, quarterly, or annually, plus their preferred payment method. The actual recurring charge is handled by whichever payment processor you connect — Stripe and PayPal both support subscriptions natively.
Will donors need to create an account to give?
No. You share a public link and donors fill it out — no signup, no app install, no FlexForm account required on their end. That removes the single biggest source of drop-off in online giving.
Can we send the data into our donor CRM or mailing list?
Yes. New submissions can flow into Mailchimp for newsletter follow-up, into Google Sheets for the treasurer's ledger, or into any CRM via webhook. A Slack notification in your #donations channel is a popular addition.
Is the form mobile-friendly?
It is built mobile-first. Around 8 of every 10 nonprofit emails are opened on a phone now, so the form is designed to look and behave correctly on a 5-inch screen first and a desktop second.
Can we embed it in our existing native mobile app?
Yes — FlexForm ships a Kotlin Multiplatform SDK that embeds the same form natively in Android and iOS apps. One form definition, two platforms, no rewrite.
Is there a free plan we can use to start?
Yes. The free forever plan covers the donation form intake side completely, which is enough for most small foundations to launch and run year-round. You only upgrade when you need higher submission volumes or advanced workflow features.
