In the past few weeks, we\u2019ve been sharing insights on donor engagement. Our Donor Engagement Strategy Playbook<\/a> walks you through everything you need to know in order to engage and retain the donors to your fundraising campaigns.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s collecting more insight about your donors or streamlining your fundraising event\u2019s processes, having the ability to ask your own questions in the CauseVox donation<\/a> form is a feature that can help you be more effective at engaging donors.<\/p>\n

Because of that, we\u2019ve refreshed how the donation form looks and upgraded the functionality of the donation form to include donation custom\u00a0fields.<\/p>\n

Our goal is to make it quick and easy for your supporters to donate to your fundraising campaign, while also helping you to get the right donor insights. Check it out below.<\/p>\n

New Donation Custom Fields<\/h2>\n

Donation custom fields are an easy way for you to ask your donor questions or collect additional info from your donors on CauseVox. Here are four examples of what you can do with this powerful feature:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Allow donors to donate on behalf of someone (great for corporate giving)<\/li>\n
  2. Find out the best way to connect with donors (email, social media, etc)<\/li>\n
  3. Ask donors for their t-shirt size if you\u2019re running an athletic event.<\/li>\n
  4. Figure out where donors heard about your campaign\/organization (through a friend, online, etc)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The possibilities are endless when it comes to using donation custom fields for your form. This feature is flexible enough to handle a wide array of use cases.<\/p>\n
