### Honor Their Memory with a Meaningful Tribute Donation

When supporters want to remember a loved one or celebrate someone special, a memorial or tribute donation is one of the most meaningful ways to turn grief and gratitude into lasting impact. This Memorial and Tribute Donation Form template helps nonprofits create a dignified, streamlined giving experience that honors both the donor's generosity and the person being remembered.

Whether you're managing ongoing tribute programs or responding to individual requests, this template gives you everything you need to collect honoree information, coordinate family notifications, offer commemorative giving levels, and process secure donations—all in one compassionate, professional form.

#### Why nonprofits choose Paperform for memorial giving

Traditional memorial donation processes often involve phone calls, mailed-in cards, and manual coordination between your team, donors, and families. This template brings that entire workflow into one elegant, easy-to-use form that respects the sensitivity of the moment while capturing all the details you need.

**Paperform's flexible design** lets you present giving levels, tribute details, and notification options in a warm, branded layout that feels like a thoughtful landing page—not a cold transaction form. You can customize fonts, colors, images, and messaging to reflect your mission and the tone appropriate for memorial giving.

**Built-in payment processing** through Stripe, PayPal, or Square means donors can give securely in the moment, with options for one-time gifts or recurring donations in memory of their loved one. No separate payment links or third-party checkout pages—everything happens in one seamless experience.

**Conditional logic** shows or hides fields based on donation type (in memory of vs. in honor of), notification preferences, and giving level, so donors only see what's relevant to them. This keeps your form simple and respectful, even when you're collecting detailed information.

#### Perfect for foundations, hospitals, hospices, and cause-based nonprofits

This template is ideal for:

 - **Healthcare and medical nonprofits** offering memorial giving programs for patients, families, and caregivers
 - **Hospice and palliative care organizations** providing tribute opportunities as part of bereavement support
 - **Educational institutions** accepting gifts in memory of alumni, faculty, or students
 - **Religious organizations and places of worship** collecting memorial donations for building funds, scholarships, or mission work
 - **Animal welfare and rescue organizations** offering tribute donations in honor of beloved pets or animal advocates
 - **Community foundations** managing memorial funds and family-designated endowments
 - **Cause-based nonprofits** (cancer research, mental health, veterans' services) where tribute giving is deeply personal and mission-aligned

#### What makes this template work

**Honoree and tribute details:** Capture the full name, relationship, and optional tribute message for the person being remembered or honored, giving donors space to share what matters most.

**Family notification options:** Let donors choose whether to notify the honoree's family, provide family contact details, and add a personal message—all handled with care and clarity.

**Commemorative giving levels:** Present named giving tiers (e.g., "Remembrance Gift," "Legacy Donor," "Memorial Circle") that acknowledge different levels of support while honoring the tribute nature of the gift.

**Secure, flexible payments:** Accept one-time or recurring donations via integrated payment gateways, with automatic receipts and thank-you messaging tailored to memorial giving.

**Donor and tribute information in one place:** Everything—donor details, honoree information, notification preferences, and payment—is captured in a single, organized submission that flows directly into your CRM, donor database, or spreadsheet.

#### Automate acknowledgments, notifications, and follow-up with Stepper

Memorial giving involves sensitive, time-critical communication. With **[Stepper](https://stepper.io)**, Paperform's AI-native workflow builder, you can automate every step of your tribute donation process while keeping it personal:

 - **Send personalized thank-you emails** to donors immediately, acknowledging their gift and the person being honored
 - **Trigger family notification letters or emails** with donor names (or anonymously, if requested) and tribute details
 - **Update your donor CRM or database** (Salesforce, Bloomerang, DonorPerfect, etc.) with tribute and honoree information automatically
 - **Create memorial fund records** in Airtable, Google Sheets, or your internal system for tracking and reporting
 - **Schedule follow-up touchpoints** for major memorial gifts, including handwritten notes, certificates, or memorial wall listings
 - **Route high-value or special tribute donations** to development officers or program managers for personal outreach

Stepper handles the coordination, so your team can focus on providing compassionate stewardship without losing track of important details.

#### Design that honors the moment

This form is designed to feel warm, respectful, and trustworthy. You can customize every element—add a hero image that reflects your mission, include a quote or message about the power of memorial giving, adjust colors to match your brand, or embed the form directly on a dedicated tribute giving page on your website.

Paperform's **doc-style editor** makes it easy to adjust wording, reorder sections, add or remove giving levels, and tailor the form to your organization's voice—whether that's formal and reverent or warm and conversational.

#### Trusted by nonprofits that care about donor experience

With **SOC 2 Type II compliance, secure payment handling, and GDPR-friendly data controls**, Paperform gives your donors confidence that their information and tribute details are handled with care. Your team gets organized, actionable data that integrates seamlessly with the tools you already use—Google Sheets, Airtable, HubSpot, Mailchimp, Slack, and more via native integrations or Stepper workflows.
