Donating Via a Campaign Hub Page - Option to add more fund donations
C
Cassey Youngblood
After we hosted our first Giving Day on Almabase, we had a constituent voice that they wanted to be able to add more funds to their donation than just the one they clicked on (from the campaign hub pages). We found a work-around for our next Giving Day by adding an explanation of "how to donate to multiple funds in one transaction" to our description box. However, it would be nice to have each campaign hub page prompt the donor and ask if they would like to donate to another fund before checking out.

Hiya Cassey Youngblood, thanks for this post! I have a few more questions for you:
- How many additional funds do donors typically want to add in one transaction?
- Are there specific types of funds that are more commonly added together by donors?
- Would donors prefer a prompt to add more funds before or after entering their payment information?

- Thus far, I've not seen a transaction come through with more than 3 or 4 funds listed on them.
- This typically is referring to Giving Day campaigns. For example, our Giving Tuesday campaign was specifically asking for donations for 6 funds, however, donations were counted for donations made to funds other than those funds during our counting period. Sometimes donors like to donate to a few of the funds we are soliciting donations for then if they have an endowed fund they will add a donation to that fund as well.
- I would say before they add payment information. People see the payment information tab and expect that to be the last step in their transaction process.

Ginu, looks like we aren't the only ones requesting a shopping cart functionality.

Agreed. This is a must have! Our donors donate to multiple campaigns on Give Day. The cart feature is so needed. We thought it was part of Almabase when we signed the contract or we never would have chosen this platform. This is a big disappointment. Please, please try to fix this. Thanks!

Agreed! The more flexibility for the donors, the better!
