GabrielSoft - Preset Amounts on a Donations Form

Use the preset amounts feature to specify different gift sizes a donor can select when completing a donation form. For example:

  • Suggest gift sizes for easy giving (e.g., $25 donation, $50 donation, $100 donation)
  • Suggest gift sizes for specific causes (e.g., $25 new shoes for family, $50 clean water filter, $100 school lunches for a year)
  • Suggest gift sizes for giving levels (e.g., $100 silver, $500 gold, $1,000 diamond)
