Donation Form Dedications

Allow donations to be made in memory of or in honor of someone important in your life and email a card (optional).

When you enable Dedications, a "Donate in Memory/Honor" link is added on the first step in the GiveForm flow. This gives donors the opportunity to dedicate their contribution to a specific person.

When clicked, the donor is taken to the "Dedicate this Donation" page. Depending on your settings, they can choose if it’s "In Memory of," or "In Honor of," and enter the name of the person to dedicate it to. They can opt to make their donation recurring, and send an e-card to someone.
