How does the feature work? What does it do? 

 The In Memoriam/In Honour/In Memory donation feature allows your donors to make their donation in honour of someone and, if they want to, they can send a personal message to someone about it.

How it works from the donor's perspective : 

  1. When your donor makes a donation on your form, they will see a checkbox that says "Make this donation in honour or in memory of someone". 
  2. If they check the box, an open text box field will appear where they can write the name of the person. 

Another checkbox will appear, that says "Notify someone by email about this donation". This box allows the donor to send a personal note by email to inform them of the donation. 


What appears in the backend of your nonprofit Zeffy dashboard : 

  • From your Zeffy dashboard, you'll be able to see if the donation was made in honour of someone, and the name of the honoured person. 
  • You will not be able to see if a personal message was sent by the donor during the payment, nor its content, for privacy reasons.
