Boost Online Giving with Mobile-Friendly Donation Forms

Drive more giving with modern donation forms

Whether it’s year-end, GivingTuesday, a major donor campaign, or everyday contributions, your online form should be responsive and easy to use. This builds trust with donors who are giving online for the first time, are nervous about where their money is going, or have had negative experiences in the past.

With DonorPerfect donation forms, supporters can give quickly and conveniently from any device. And with trusted payment options like PayPal and Venmo, alongside credit card and bank transfer, donors can choose the method that feels most secure to them. Enabling these popular payment choices signals that their information is protected and their gift is in good hands.

When Enough Abuse received a shout-out from an Instagram influencer, their supporters responded immediately, giving $6,291 in just four days. A mobile-friendly donation form with frictionless payment options like PayPal and Venmo made it possible for supporters to give the moment they felt inspired.

“All those gifts came from people giving on their phone.” – Lindsay H., Communications Coordinator

Extend your donor experience beyond the appeal

Every fundraising campaign is powered by a story, such as a heartfelt appeal or a challenge from a trusted influencer. The impact of that story shouldn’t end at the call to action.

For example, fundraisers can customize DonorPerfect donation forms to mirror the energy and tone of their campaigns, so they feel cohesive with the donor communications they send. Our customers leverage impactful visuals, persuasive messaging, and brand-specific elements to make their forms feel like a seamless extension of their outreach.

Every DonorPerfect plan includes high-converting, mobile-friendly donation forms. They give your donors a seamless donation experience and help you raise more money, with no extra costs or add-ons.

Use your donation form to build deeper donor trust

Your donation forms can help reinforce your nonprofit’s credibility and values. They’re an opportunity to show consistency, care, and attention to donor experience. When your fundraising forms match your organization’s look and language, it reassures donors they’re in the right place and that their gift matters.

You can show impact examples directly on the form to illustrate how contributions will be used. For example, $20 provides lunch for 5 students. Carry that same message through to your thank-you message (e.g., This week, 5 students enjoyed lunch thanks to your generosity. Because of you, they can focus better in class.). This consistency between giving and follow-up assures donors that their donation makes a tangible difference, strengthening both loyalty and trust.
