Compliance checklist
- Payment items priced — passingEvery payment question charges a real amount, so a submission always records a payment.
- Conditional logic resolves — passingEvery rule points at a question or page that exists in this template.
- Legal text not required — passingThis template collects neither health nor regulated financial information.
- Question labels unique — passingLogic and exports address questions by label, so duplicates are ambiguous.
What happens after submit: nothing is stored in this preview. On your own copy, every response triggers an instant email notification and lands in your response dashboard, ready to export or forward.

Who this template is for
Charity Volunteer Signup & Shifts 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 12 questions across 2 screens.
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.
- 7 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 allows multiple selections without free text.
- It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
- 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.
