Online Forms Make It Easy to Get Involved

Mobile-friendly online forms empower your organization to do everything from collecting volunteer sign-ups and membership payments to sending surveys, petitions, and more. 

Sign Up Volunteers to Strengthen your Organization 

Enlist qualified volunteers with special skills that can be utilized to your advantage 

When you are creating your volunteer sign-up or application form you’ll want to decide what information you need to collect, so figure out what is vital for your campaign. 

Removing a single question from your volunteer application form can increase submissions by over 26%, so remember to keep it to the bare minimum of what you need. 

Make it even easier to sign up by having supporters text a keyword to receive a link to your volunteer application form in the reply message right on their mobile device. They can then share the link to your form across social, mobile, email, and online channels to encourage their networks to sign up as well. 

Every time a volunteer signs up via text keyword, they are able to be subscribed for you to send text reminders and updates before, after, and during your volunteer event. 

Tip: Promote volunteer application forms at fundraising events and at your office for an easy way to get supporters involved. 

Grow Revenue with Online Membership Forms

Memberships empower your nonprofit to increase recurring contributions in the form of monthly or annual dues. Be sure to customize the form with a drop-down menu or checkboxes to allow supporters to select the level of commitment they prefer. 

Using software with automated payment notifications and tax receipts will make becoming a member of your nonprofit an easy and seamless experience for both you and your supporters.

Online Petitions Get Your Supporters to Take Action 

Expand advocacy and increase involvement with your cause 

Use petitions to increase awareness and drive social change for the matters your cause cares most about. Mobile and Online petition forms can be easily customized and allow you to conveniently collect signatures from any device, both in-person and remotely.

Tip: Set a goal to convert a percentage of petitioners into donors each year.
