Donations
The Donations section lets you make contributions to your club and track your giving history.
Making a Donation
- Navigate to My Donations from the sidebar
- Click Make a Donation
- Choose your donation type:
- One-Time — a single contribution
- Recurring — automatic monthly or yearly giving
- Enter or select an amount (quick-select buttons: $10, $25, $50, $100, $250)
- Choose a currency (defaults to your club’s currency)
- For recurring: select the interval (Monthly or Yearly)
- Add an optional message (up to 500 characters)
- Click Donate — you’ll be redirected to Stripe Checkout to complete payment
After payment, you’ll be redirected back to MyDonations with a success confirmation.
Donation Types
| Type | How It Works |
|---|---|
| One-Time | A single payment. Shows up immediately in your history after payment |
| Recurring | Automatic payments on a schedule (monthly or yearly). Continues until you cancel |
Viewing Your Donation History
Your My Donations page shows a table of all your contributions:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Amount | How much you donated (shown in the donation currency) |
| Type | One-Time or Recurring |
| Status | Current status of the donation |
| Date | When the donation was made |
| Message | Your optional message, if provided |
You can search, filter by type or status, and page through your history.
Donation Statuses
| Status | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Pending | Payment is being processed |
| Completed | Payment succeeded — thank you! |
| Failed | Payment didn’t go through. Try again or use a different payment method |
| Refunded | The donation was refunded by the club |
| Cancelled | The donation (or recurring subscription) was cancelled |
Cancelling a Recurring Donation
If you have an active recurring donation and want to stop future payments:
- Go to My Donations
- Find the recurring donation in your table
- Click Cancel next to it
- The recurring payments will stop at the end of the current billing period
Already-processed payments are not affected by cancellation. Contact your club admin for refund requests.
Donating to a Campaign
Your club may run campaigns — targeted fundraising efforts with a goal and deadline. If your club shares a campaign link (e.g., on their website), you can donate directly to that campaign. The campaign page shows:
- Campaign title and description
- Progress bar (how much has been raised vs. the goal)
- Number of donors
- Deadline (if set)
Donating as a Guest (via WordPress)
If your club has a WordPress website with the ClubMS donation widget, you can donate without logging in:
- Visit the club’s website
- Find the donation form or campaign page
- Enter your name, email, amount, and optional message
- Complete payment via Stripe Checkout
- You’ll receive a donation receipt by email
Tax Receipts
Donation receipts are sent to your email automatically after each successful donation. If you need additional documentation for tax purposes, contact your club administrator.
