User-friendly Donation Links

Make it easier for donors to give online by creating custom links that automatically set gift options like recipient and gift amount.

(Examples below apply to the current College of Liberal & Creative Arts donation form.)

To create a custom "Make a Gift" link:
  • Use the & (ampersand) symbol to add on form field values to the link URL
  • Replace blank spaces between form field values with %20

Custom Make A Gift links

Some basic examples for building your own donation form links.
The default Humanities URL (donor makes all form selections).

Example: "Make a Gift"

https://www.applyweb.com/public/contribute?s=sfuhuman


Automatically select your program or department:

Example: "I would like to support the Theatre Department"

https://www.applyweb.com/public/contribute?s=sfuhuman&SFUHUMAN-DESIGNATE_GIFT=Theatre



Automatically set a gift amount:

Example: "I would give $25 to the Theatre Department"

https://www.applyweb.com/public/contribute?s=sfuhuman&SFUHUMAN-DESIGNATE_GIFT=Theatre&SFUHUMAN-GIFT_AMOUNT=25


Pre-select "Other" and write-in the name of your initiative.

Example: "I Would Like to the Support Players' Club"
