Who this template is for
Legacy Gift Pledge 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 14 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.
- 5 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 captures a full postal address.
- It allows multiple selections without free text.
- It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
- 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.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 4 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Where are you in your plans?” is I have already included you in my will, the form dynamically exposes “What type of gift is it?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Where are you in your plans?” is I am considering it, the form dynamically exposes “What would help you decide?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “What type of gift is it?” is A fixed sum, the form dynamically exposes “Approximate amount, if you wish to say (£)”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “May we recognise your intention publicly?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “How should we recognise you?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- 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
Is this legally binding?
No. It records an intention only, and the supporter can change their will at any time without telling you.
Do we have to ask for an amount?
No, and you should not. Only supporters leaving a fixed sum are offered an optional amount field.
Why ask about the registered charity number?
Wills naming a charity incorrectly are the most common cause of a disputed or failed legacy.
Can the intention stay private?
Yes. Declining recognition hides the naming question and keeps the pledge out of any legacy listing.
Is the Legacy Gift Pledge Form template free to use?
Yes. You can preview and test Legacy Gift Pledge Form on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.
