Immediate Community Support

Financial gifts
As you may know, Forms are not just for donations—they can also collect prayer requests, emotional support needs, and volunteer signups. Forms can be shared and accessed in many ways. For example:

By using Form Keywords, your community can simply text a keyword and immediately receive a link to a specific form.
Each submission can also trigger a notification email to a designated staff member or ministry leader, ensuring that urgent needs are seen and addressed in real time.
