In reply to: [GiveWP - Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform] Custom Goal FormatHi, thanks for your response! I appreciate you taking this into consideration. I am going to work with my team’s contracted developers to see if they can figure out a workaround. We’re coming from TeamRaiser which had these features built in, but was extremely complicated to customize the appearance for each campaign, which us non-developers need to be able to do day-to-day. This is why we love the idea of Give!
We are a fundraising organization that offers environmental services as the “product” being sold in lieu of the usual fundraisers that sell chocolate bars or the like. Therefore, we have multiple Give forms at once for the different participating schools. All donations are two-part — a percentage goes directly toward the fundraising initiative (usually a school fundraiser), and the remainder goes towards the chosen service. So, in order to keep the momentum for the fundraiser going, we want to display custom metrics to track the environmental service they’re funding in addition to the funds raised for their initiative.
The Ultimeter custom units feature is close to what we are looking for, but we need a way to have the Ultimeter update automatically from active Give forms, and ideally be able to track that custom metric in the GiveWP donations section of the backend. I love that Ultimeter has a GiveWP integration, and I am going to see if my team can utilize this to somehow connect the two. Basically, the ability to input a basic custom equation & text for the goal format:
total donation – $ or % [amount going directly towards the fundraising campaign] = X number of trees planted
And then additionally, the ability to track a segment of $ earned (to display only the amount of funds going to the initiative rather than all funds, as they will reach their goal before they actually have if we just show total donations):
total donation – $ or % [amount going towards environmental service] = funds raised for their initiative
I’ll respond here if we figure out a workaround in the meantime. Thanks again!
