Set donation amounts

Who can do this Owner, Admin, Finance, Member, Viewer

Amounts are set per donation item, on the campaign’s Donation Programs tab — choose a fixed set of options, or a flexible range with its own minimum and maximum.

Before you start

• You need at least one donation item to set amounts on. See Add sponsorship items if the campaign doesn’t have one yet.

Steps

1. Open the campaign’s Donation Programs tab and select an item. In DonorCARE, open the campaign, select the Items tab, then select the item you want to price.

   

2. Choose fixed amounts, or a flexible range. Turn on Use fixed donation amount and enter one figure, or several separated by commas (for example 50.00, 100.00, 250.00) — donors then pick from those preset amounts. Leave it off to collect a Min Amount (required) and an optional Max Amount; donors can enter anything in between. Leaving Max Amount blank means no upper limit.

3. Save the item. DonorCARE enforces a minimum of RM 10 on every item regardless of what you enter, and rejects a maximum that isn’t higher than the minimum.

If something goes wrong

What you see	What it means	What to do
“Minimum donation amount must be at least 10”	The Min Amount you entered is below DonorCARE’s floor	Enter RM 10 or more
“Maximum amount must be greater than minimum amount”	The Max Amount is equal to or lower than the Min Amount	Raise the maximum, or clear it for no limit
A donor’s amount is rejected above what you set here	Your organisation has its own minimum donation amount set for every campaign (Finance > Payment Limits) — whichever minimum is higher wins	Check your organisation-wide minimum in Set donation controls if this item’s own minimum looks too low to matter
Pricing fields are greyed out	The item already has donations against it — pricing and item type lock to protect existing records	Create a new item instead of editing this one
