Donations

What are online donations?

Online donations provide a way for your donors to financially support your ministry or organization through secured information gathering and payment processing.

What makes a good donation solution?

A good donation solution should be easy to use and secure. It is important to test your donation forms to make sure that users are able to easily move through the process. You do not want to frustrate users who are trying to give you money!

From an administrative perspective, good donations solutions should assist you in tracking and reporting your online transactions for accounting and tax purposes.

How do donations drive results?

Donations are results! Donations allow your ministry or organization to keep doing the work you exist to do.

Keys to Collaboration

  • Know what information you need to collect.

    Every organization needs different information about their donors. The key is to balance your desire to know everything about your donors with the need to keep the donation form simple. Also make sure to collect the necessary information needed to properly process any payments for your accounting purposes.

    Provide specific donation categories and amounts.

    Your donors need to know what their donations accomplish. Does it feed four people? Does it buy 20 New Testaments? Let them know and be clear about how their donations benefit others! Also, you are more likely to get donations if you provide recommended dollar amount options--e.g., $10, $25, $50--along with an open field to add in an amount of their choosing.

    State the value you provide to repeat donors.

    Why would a donor choose your organization for a long-term relationship? Be sure to clearly communicate the value donors will get from partnering with your organization on the page with the donation form.
