Fill in a form from an organization
Completing a form attached to a donation or sent to you by an organization.
Some appeals ask for a short form as part of giving — before you pay, right after, or sent to you separately by the organization.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”This only applies if the organization you’re giving to has attached a form — most donations don’t have one.
-
If the form appears before payment, it’s shown to you as a step inside checkout, and you’ll need to complete it before your donation can go through.
-
If the form is offered after payment, you’ll see “Donation successful 🎉 One more step — please complete a short form for the organizer.” on the confirmation screen.
-
Select Complete the form to fill it in (it opens in a new tab), or select View Receipt if you’d rather do it later — a reminder email with the form’s link usually follows after a few days if you skip it.
-
You might also receive a form link directly from the organization, with no donation attached to it at all — for example a volunteer sign-up or a membership application. Open the link the same way.
-
Fill in the fields and select Submit. Confirmation: a thank-you message appears once your response is recorded.
If something goes wrong
Section titled “If something goes wrong”| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| “Form not found.” | The link is old, or the organization has removed or renamed the form | Ask the organization for a current link |
| “Prefill link is invalid or expired.” | A personalized link from an email has timed out | Ask the organization to resend it, or open the form from scratch and fill it in yourself |
| “Please complete the captcha before submitting.” | The human-verification box wasn’t ticked | Tick the box, then select Submit again |
