Custom forms for the work you used to do by email or paper
Publish campaign-specific forms that ask for exactly what your team needs—so donors, parents, and volunteers supply structured answers instead of long threads of half-finished details. Staff review submissions and fold them into your auction catalog, inventory, and operations without retyping the same fields from screenshots and PDFs.
Every fundraiser has intake that does not belong in a generic "contact us" box: donated auction items, sponsorship commitments, jog-a-thon lap pledges, or volunteer availability. Paddle-Up treats those flows as first-class forms you can tailor per campaign—labels, required fields, and helper text that match how your organization actually runs the event.
Example: school auction item donations
For a school auction, parents and community members often donate goods, experiences, or gift cards. Instead of a committee member copying voicemails and inbox screenshots into a spreadsheet, you share a form that walks donors through the same questions you would ask at a drop-off table: item title, description, estimated value, restrictions (expiration dates, blackout windows, pickup expectations), quantity, and optional photos.
Donors enter their own contact details and how they want to be credited in the catalog—so spelling, phone numbers, and business names land in your system once, in a consistent format. Your team spends time on curation and storytelling, not on deciphering whether "2 baskets" means two separate lots or one package with two components.
- Guided fields reduce back-and-forth when something is unclear—required prompts surface gaps before submissions hit your queue
- Attachments and images stay tied to the submission instead of living in someone's camera roll or a shared drive folder named "final FINAL"
- Campaign-scoped forms keep this year's gala separate from last season's jog-a-thon without duplicate Google Forms
From submission to catalog and inventory
Forms are not a dead-end inbox. Reviewers can accept, request edits, or decline submissions; approved entries flow into the same item and lot records your auction and fulfillment teams use—aligned with inventory tracking and the auction catalog, so counts, locations, and catalog copy stay in sync without a second manual import.
Beyond donated items
The same pattern works anywhere you need trustworthy structured data from people outside your core staff: volunteer skill surveys, sponsorship interest forms, or pre-event questionnaire steps that feed operations and communications. One form system, tied to campaigns, replaces a patchwork of tools that never quite match your reporting fields.
