What is a Donation Form?
Donation forms allow your donors to easily give to your organization on any device.
You can use CauseVox donation forms a few ways:
Directly connected to your CauseVox Fundraising Website (via a crowdfunding campaign, virtual event, or peer to peer fundraising campaign).
Hosted as a free-standing donation page through CauseVox, without a Fundraising Website.
Embedded on your own organization's website.
Example donation form flow:

Donation Form vs Donation Page
Your donation form includes a simple free-standing page that the form is embedded on. This is also sometimes referred to as a "hosted donation page". You can link to this donation page to direct people to make donations.
You can update those page settings under Fundraising Website, which include:
Link - This is the URL of your donation page that you can link or share.
Contact Information - Your contact information will be displayed in the footer of this donation page.
