What is a Revenue Form?
Forms are stand-alone web pages or little boxes embedded into a website that allow a person to enter information. They have blank fields where you can enter your name, drop-down boxes that you can select options from, and other special functions.
People often ask, "What is a Revenue Form? How is it different from Donation Form?"
Here's what we tell them:
Revenue Forms allow individuals and organizations to make payments to your Organization online. Revenue payments are any transactions that are not eligible for a donation receipt.
What are some examples of Revenue Payments?
Any payment can be considered revenue - as long as it's not eligible for a donation receipt. As a result, the possibilities are endless!
- Tickets to an event
- Registration for classes or workshops
- Sponsorships and Grants
