Who this template is for
Volunteer Waiver Form is built for charities, foundations and community groups who need to sign people up and record consent and eligibility.
- Charities, foundations and community groups working in non-profit & community.
- Teams who need to sign people up and record consent and eligibility without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing volunteer and donor records living in spreadsheets with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are donors, volunteers and beneficiaries — the form asks them 20 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 volunteer and donor records living in spreadsheets and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 15 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 records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- It allows multiple selections without free text.
- 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.
