Tips for Using the Donation Pledge Form

Having a standardized Donation Pledge Form makes tracking your fundraising goal easy. The form contains the essential information and is easy for your donors to use and for you to read.

• If you will be typing donor information into the form, start by creating a master document from the template by entering your organization’s information and saving the document. Now you can create a new form for every donor without re-entering the Organization name, mission, and contact information.
• Use the “Mission” field to state your goal for fundraising. How much money are you trying to raise and what will it be used for? Mission statements that are meaningful will tell donors exactly why their money is needed.
• Enclose the Donation Pledge Form with a more detailed letter or brochure explaining your organization’s mission and activities. Alternatively, you can keep a stack of forms on a table at information fairs or special events.
• File forms as you receive them according to the type of donations received. Consider three-hole punching them and keeping completed forms in a three ring binder. Divide the binder into sections as indicated by the form: paid now, monthly, quarterly, and annual pledges.
