How to Get a Donation Form Link in Altru

February 24, 2023

If you use Blackbaud Altru for fundraising, you need a stable donation form URL to share on your website, emails, social posts, and campaigns. Using the correct Altru donation form link keeps gifts recorded against the right designation and makes reporting cleaner for development teams.

This short guide shows where to find the donation form link inside Altru so constituents can give online and your team can reconcile gifts without manual entry.

Why the donation form link matters

  • Gifts post correctly to Altru constituent and gift records
  • Campaigns can point to a specific designation or appeal form
  • Website buttons and QR codes stay consistent across channels

Steps to get the donation form link in Altru

  1. Go to your Altru account and click Web.
  2. Under Web forms, select Manage donation forms.
  3. Click the type or designation of the donation form you want to share.
  4. Open the form details and copy the public form URL (or the link Altru provides for that form).
  5. Paste the URL into your website donate button, email CTA, or campaign landing page.

Best practices

  • Test the link in a private browser window before sending a campaign
  • Confirm the gift appears on a test constituent record in Altru
  • Use UTM parameters on marketing links if you track campaign performance in analytics
  • Keep one primary donate URL on your site so staff are not sharing outdated forms
