Who this template is for

Capital Appeal Enquiry Form is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.

  • Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in fundraising & alumni.
  • Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 15 questions across 3 screens.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 8 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
  • It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
  • It pins the request to a specific date.
  • Conditional logic hides 4 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 3 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 4 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features advanced show logic: if “Who is making this enquiry?” is one of Grant-making foundation, Family trust, the form dynamically exposes “When do your trustees next meet?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Who is making this enquiry?” is Individual, the form dynamically exposes “Would you like to visit the project?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Are you interested in a naming opportunity?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “What kind of recognition appeals to you?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Would you like to visit the project?” is Yes, “Best times for a visit” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • All 4 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form

Should we ask for an amount here?

Only as an optional indication. The purpose of this form is to earn the first meeting, not to close the gift.

How are trusts handled differently?

Trust and foundation enquiries open questions about trustee meeting dates and funding priorities.

What if the donor wants anonymity?

Declining the naming question keeps them off donor boards and out of published lists from the start.

Can enquirers visit?

Individuals are asked directly, and a yes makes the availability question mandatory so a visit can be arranged.
