Donations and use of funds
Create a donation project and public page
Create a donation project in the workspace and configure donation methods, suggested amounts, and public-page content. You can build the public page manually with the standard editor or ask AI to draft it from existing information and refine it yourself.
One-time and recurring donations
GDDAO supports both one-time and recurring donations. Donors can change or cancel the amount and schedule of a recurring donation.
Issue, download, and resend receipts
The system generates electronic receipts according to your settings. Donors can download them, and the organization can resend them. Personal donation histories, donor lists, and corporate donations are organized in one place for easy reference.
Use-of-funds content: explain where the money went
After receiving donations, create use-of-funds content to explain which work the money supported and what progress or outcomes it produced. Connect the update to related activities, photos, and outcome content. Donors can interact and leave comments on the page.
:::caution Important Use-of-funds content is a public communication feature. It explains how money is being used; it is not a complete accounting ledger, a statutory fundraising reconciliation system, or an automatic reimbursement process. Formal reconciliation and expense settlement must continue through the organization's established accounting procedures. :::
GDDAO takes no percentage of donations
GDDAO charges organizations a platform fee and does not take a percentage of donations. Third-party payment services process donations at their standard rates; GDDAO does not handle those fees.
Common scenario
- To understand why connecting only a payment provider is different from using GDDAO, see How does GDDAO compare with Notion and Google Forms?. Payment providers collect money; GDDAO connects receipts, donor disclosure, donation records, and outcome updates so donors can see what their money became.
