Arts Therapy Program Fundraising Form

Transform Lives Through the Healing Power of Arts Therapy

Arts therapy has proven to be a powerful tool in helping trauma survivors process their experiences, express emotions, and rebuild their sense of self. Our nonprofit arts therapy program provides a safe, supportive environment where survivors can heal through creative expression—but we can't do it without your help.

This fundraising form makes it simple to support our mission in the way that resonates most with you. Whether you choose to sponsor therapy sessions, fund essential art supplies, or invest in training the next generation of arts therapists, your contribution creates real, measurable impact in the lives of trauma survivors.

Why Arts Therapy Matters for Trauma Survivors

Traditional talk therapy isn't always accessible for individuals who have experienced trauma. For many survivors, verbal expression can be difficult, triggering, or feel impossible. Arts therapy offers an alternative pathway to healing—one that engages the creative mind and allows for non-verbal processing of complex emotions and experiences.

Through painting, drawing, sculpture, collage, and other artistic modalities, participants in our program work with trained arts therapists to explore their feelings, build coping skills, and gradually reclaim their narrative. The results speak for themselves: improved emotional regulation, reduced anxiety and depression, enhanced self-esteem, and a renewed sense of hope.

How Paperform Powers Mission-Driven Fundraising

For nonprofit organizations running specialized programs like arts therapy services, Paperform offers the perfect solution for creating branded, conversion-focused fundraising campaigns. Unlike generic donation platforms that strip away your story and brand identity, Paperform lets you build fundraising forms that truly reflect your mission and connect emotionally with donors.

Flexible donation options: With Paperform's built-in payment processing through Stripe, PayPal, and Square, you can offer donors multiple ways to give—one-time contributions, monthly recurring donations, or specific sponsorship levels. The platform's calculation fields let you create transparent pricing structures that show exactly how each donation level translates into program impact.

Tell your story visually: The doc-style editor means you can weave compelling narratives, impact statistics, survivor testimonials, and powerful imagery throughout your form. Instead of a cold, transactional experience, donors encounter a landing page that educates, inspires, and motivates action.

Automate donor stewardship: Connect your fundraising form to your CRM, email platform, or project management tools through Stepper workflows. Automatically send personalized thank-you emails based on donation level, update donor records, trigger tax receipt generation, and keep your development team informed about campaign performance—all without manual data entry.

Build trust through transparency: For donors considering significant contributions to specialized programs like arts therapy, trust is paramount. Paperform's SOC 2 Type II compliance and secure payment processing provide the foundation, while your customized form design demonstrates professionalism and organizational capacity.

Perfect for Arts, Health, and Social Services Nonprofits

This fundraising template is specifically designed for nonprofits operating in the health, wellness, and social services sectors—particularly organizations delivering therapeutic programs, trauma-informed care, or arts-based interventions. Whether you're running a small community program or a larger regional service, this template adapts to your scale and fundraising goals.

Development directors and fundraising coordinators will appreciate how Paperform eliminates the need to cobble together multiple tools for donation collection, donor communication, and campaign tracking. Everything lives in one place, with real-time reporting that shows exactly how your campaign is performing against goals.

Executive directors and program managers can use Paperform's AI Insights to quickly understand donor motivations, identify which messaging resonates, and make data-informed decisions about future campaigns. The platform's flexibility means you can test different approaches, update content mid-campaign, and optimize for conversions without technical support.

Nonprofit consultants and capacity builders working with multiple arts, health, or social service organizations can leverage Paperform's Agency+ features to manage fundraising forms for multiple clients, share templates across organizations, and provide ongoing optimization support—all from one account.

Streamline Operations with Integrated Tools

The real power of Paperform for nonprofit fundraising extends beyond the donation form itself. Through native integrations and Stepper automation, you can connect your fundraising efforts to your entire organizational ecosystem:

• CRM integration: Automatically create or update donor records in Salesforce, HubSpot, Bloomerang, or DonorPerfect based on contribution level and preferences
• Accounting automation: Push donation data directly into QuickBooks or Xero for accurate financial tracking and simplified year-end reporting
• Email nurturing: Segment donors into appropriate communication tracks in Mailchimp, Constant Contact, or other email platforms based on their giving history and interests
• Team notifications: Alert program staff when specific sponsorship levels are reached, trigger volunteer coordinator follow-up for in-kind art supply donors, or notify your finance team about large contributions requiring special processing

For organizations that also need signed agreements—perhaps for corporate sponsors, grant-funded partnerships, or major gift commitments—Paperform's Papersign integration lets you seamlessly transition from donation form to legally binding agreement without asking donors to navigate multiple platforms.

Design That Drives Donations

Research consistently shows that donation page design significantly impacts conversion rates. Paperform's visual flexibility means you can create fundraising forms that incorporate best practices while maintaining your unique organizational identity:

• Add compelling imagery showing program participants engaged in arts therapy (with appropriate permissions and privacy considerations)
• Include video testimonials from therapists, program alumni, or community partners
• Display real-time or milestone progress bars showing campaign goals
• Incorporate trust signals like nonprofit registrations, financial transparency ratings, or program outcome statistics
• Offer clear, specific donation levels that explain exactly what each amount provides

The one-question-at-a-time Guided Mode can be particularly effective for fundraising forms targeting individual donors who may be learning about your program for the first time. By progressively revealing information and options, you reduce overwhelm and guide donors through an intentional giving journey.

Affordable, Scalable, and Built for Mission-Driven Teams

Unlike enterprise fundraising platforms with prohibitive pricing structures and lengthy implementation timelines, Paperform offers nonprofit-friendly pricing that scales with your needs. Small organizations can start with lower-tier plans for basic campaigns, while larger nonprofits benefit from advanced features like custom domains, team collaboration, and priority support—all at predictable, transparent pricing.

Because Paperform requires no coding or technical expertise, your fundraising and development team owns the entire process. Need to launch an emergency campaign? Update program impact numbers mid-campaign? Test new messaging for different donor segments? Your team can make these changes immediately without waiting for web developers or expensive agency support.
