How to customize a Giving Form
A Giving Form is similar to your Giving Page but you decide which appeals to include. (Your Giving Page will show all active appeals.)
GivingTools makes online giving easy. But don't take our word for it...grab a demo account! Your demo account is prepopulated with all kinds of appeals. Change anything you wish. Add additional managers. View your giving page like a donor. You'll love it!
