FAQ
How do I process the actual payments?
Google Forms does not process payments directly. Most foundations use this form to collect donor intent and contact details, then direct donors to a secure payment processor like PayPal, Stripe, or their own banking portal via a link in the confirmation message.
Can I customize the fields for my specific cause?
Absolutely. Once you use the Doc2Form template, you can add, remove, or reorder any questions directly in the Google Forms editor to suit your specific fundraising needs.
Is this form suitable for recurring donations?
Yes, you can include a checkbox or dropdown question asking if the donor would like to make their contribution a recurring monthly or annual gift, which helps your team identify long-term supporters.
How do I keep donor information secure?
Google Forms provides robust security features. Ensure you are using a secure Google Workspace account and manage access permissions carefully so that only authorized team members can view the collected donor data.
