Who this template is for
Recurring Donation 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 11 questions across 2 screens.
- Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.
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 pins the request to a specific date.
- It allows multiple selections without free text.
- It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
- Conditional logic hides 3 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 2 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 — 3 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features conditional hiding: if “How often would you like to give?” is One-time instead, “Start date” is removed from the form and is never submitted.
- Features conditional validation: if “Would you like a yearly giving summary for tax purposes?” is Yes, “Mailing address for tax receipt” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Designate my gift to” is A specific programme, the form dynamically exposes “Which programme?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form
How is this different from Online Donation Form?
Online Donation Form is built for a single gift completed once. This Recurring Donation Form is built around an ongoing schedule — frequency, start date and how to manage the gift later.
What if a donor wants to pledge a total amount over time instead?
Use Fundraising Pledge Form for a committed total paid in instalments toward a specific goal or campaign, rather than an open-ended recurring gift.
How should donors cancel their recurring gift?
Point them to Subscription Cancellation Form or a dedicated donor portal — don't make them resubmit this signup form to stop giving.
Can I offer both one-time and recurring on the same form?
Yes, the "One-time instead" option handles that, and the logic hides the start-date field when a donor picks it.
Is the Recurring Donation Form template free to use?
Yes. You can preview and test Recurring Donation 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.
What does the Recurring Donation Form template ask for?
It asks 11 questions across 2 pages, 5 of which are required. Every question is listed in full further down this page, and each one can be renamed, reordered, made optional or deleted after you copy the template.
Can I edit the Recurring Donation Form form after copying it?
Yes — the copy is entirely yours. Change wording, add or remove questions, switch between the classic and card layouts, restyle it to match your brand, and set who gets notified on each submission.
