Who this template is for
Fundraising 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 16 questions across 3 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.
- 10 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.
- 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.
- 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 “How will the pledge be paid?” is In instalments, the form dynamically exposes “Number of instalments”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “How will the pledge be paid?” is In instalments, the form dynamically exposes “Payment frequency”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Will your employer match this gift?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Employer name and matching scheme”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “May we list your name among our supporters?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Name as it should be listed”. 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.
About this template
A pledge is a forecast, and a forecast is only useful if it carries a date and a payment method. This form captures both. The supporter states the total they are promising and then chooses whether it will be paid in one go or spread across instalments; instalments open the number of payments, the frequency and the date of the first, so the finance team can put every expected amount into the right month rather than lumping the whole promise into the quarter it was made. Payment method matters just as much — a bank transfer pledge opens a note about the reference the supporter will use, while a cheque pledge opens the posting address so it is not chased to the wrong office. Matched funding is asked about directly, because an employer match can add a third again to a campaign and is almost never volunteered unprompted. The recognition question separates public listing from private giving and lets the supporter choose the exact wording of their name, and choosing to stay private hides the wording field entirely so the published total never contains a name it should not.

Set it up step by step
- 1
Name the campaign
Put the campaign or appeal name at the top so pledges can be reported per campaign.
- 2
Keep dates mandatory
A pledge without a date cannot be forecast — leave the first payment date required.
- 3
Forecast the instalments
Export the schedule and load each expected payment into the month it is due.
- 4
Ask about matching
Leave the employer matching question in; it routinely uncovers additional income.
- 5
Confirm same day
Send a written confirmation restating the amount, dates and method.
Mistakes to avoid
- Recording a pledge with no payment date, which turns a forecast into a guess.
- Treating a multi-year pledge as a single line, so the second instalment is never chased.
- Publishing a pledge total that includes gifts the donor asked to keep private.

This form takes money. Card details are handled by the payment provider and never stored in your response data — you keep the order details, not the card number.
Frequently asked questions
Does this take a payment?
No — it records a promise. Use the donation form when you want to collect money at the point of submission.
Can pledges be spread over years?
Yes. Choosing instalments opens the count, frequency and first payment date so multi-year promises schedule properly.
How do we handle employer matching?
The form asks outright and captures the scheme details so you can submit the claim.
Can a pledge stay private?
Yes. Declining the listing question hides the name-wording field and keeps the gift out of published lists.
