WordPress Forms for Nonprofits
Nonprofits need to raise funds, recruit volunteers and register event attendees without spending scarce budget on form software subscriptions. Auto Form Builder is completely free — donation capture, volunteer sign-up, event registration and contact forms included with no paid tier. Take one-time donations with the free Stripe Payments add-on (no plugin fee), or connect another processor via webhook. Supporter details stay on your own site by default.
Forms nonprofits teams use
- Donation capture forms — Collect donor name, email and pledge amount with suggested tiers — take payment with Stripe Checkout, or connect another processor via webhook.
- Volunteer sign-up forms — Register volunteers with contact details, availability and skills — optionally create WordPress accounts when volunteer portals need login access.
- Event registration forms — Sign up attendees for galas, walks and community events with confirmation emails and exportable guest lists.
- Contact forms — General enquiries, partnership requests and media contacts on a professional form with stored submissions and spam protection.
Why nonprofits teams choose Auto Form Builder
- Zero subscription for form building — conditional logic, multi-step flows, file uploads, webhooks and submission storage are all free so more budget stays on mission.
- Donation forms can charge through Stripe Checkout for one-time gifts — Auto Form Builder adds no transaction fee; you pay only Stripe's standard processing fees. Webhooks still connect other processors when you need them.
- Privacy-first defaults keep supporter data on your WordPress server until you explicitly enable optional integrations like Stripe, Slack or Google Sheets.
- Multi-step volunteer and event forms reduce abandonment on mobile — critical when supporters sign up from fundraising emails on their phones.
