How tribute giving works in CauseVox
Add the option to your donation form
Turn on tribute dedication and it appears on your form.
Enable Tributes in your form settings and the option sits on the first page of the form, just below your donation amounts — so a donor sees it without having to look for it.
Let donors dedicate their gift
Donors choose “in memory of” or “in honor of” and name the person.
It takes one step, in the flow they’re already in. A memorial gift and a birthday tribute are both handled the same simple way.
Let them tell the family
Donors can send a personal note letting the family or honoree know.
A donor can choose to send a personal email letting the family know a gift was made in their loved one’s name — often the part that matters most to everyone involved.
Direct gifts to a memorial fund
Send tributes to a fund set up in someone’s memory.
Fund designations let a family’s memorial fund have its own page, description, and running total — so gifts given in one person’s name are gathered in one place rather than scattered through general giving.
Give a memorial its own page
Create a page for a specific person when a family wants one.
A campaign or personal fundraising page can carry their photo, their story, and a place for people to give — something a family can share with everyone who wants to do something.
Acknowledge every tribute properly
Every gift is receipted and recorded with its dedication attached.
Automatic receipts go out as gifts arrive, and every tribute sits on the donor’s record with the dedication intact — so when you write to them, you know who they were remembering.

Common questions
How do donors make a gift in someone’s memory?
Enable Tributes on your donation form and the option appears just below your donation amounts. A donor chooses “in memory of” or “in honor of” and names the person, without leaving the form.
Can the family be told about the gift?
Yes. A donor can choose to send a personal email letting the honoree or the family know that a gift was made in their name.
Can we set up a fund in someone’s memory?
Yes. A memorial fund can have its own page, description, and running total, so gifts given in one person’s name are gathered together.
Can a family create a page themselves?
Yes. A personal fundraising page lets a family member raise in their loved one’s name, with their own photo and words.
Can we accept checks sent in memory of someone?
Yes. Offline gifts are logged with their dedication like any other tribute.
Is the dedication kept with the gift in our records?
Yes. The tribute stays attached to the donation on the donor’s record, so you know who they were remembering when you write to them.
What does it cost?
There’s a free plan you can start on with no credit card, and paid plans start at $100/month with no commitment. See pricing for the details.
