With the Mission Trip Application widget, people can complete an application for a specific mission trip and pledging to raise a required amount.

• This widget displays pledge campaigns with the mission trip pledge campaign type.
• You can use a URL parameter to specify which mission trip to display. See Widget Configuration for more information.
• Applicants must meet a fundraising goal, and submitting an application creates a pledge of this amount. No funds are collected during the application.
• A progress bar visually represents campaign efforts for both pledges and donations made toward those pledges.
• This widget includes flexibility to support your church's processes. The pledge is set as pending and triggers the Pending Pledge Approval process to alert the specified person to take the appropriate steps to approve this trip applicant (for example, run a background check, contact references, and so on).
• Use the Applicant Email template (see Configuring Missions Trip Applications for more information) to send the applicant information about next steps, link to your giving vendor for donations and fundraising, or just let them know you're excited they're joining you!

Actions

Apply

This creates a pledge record. Pledges will be assigned to the person if they're logged in or the system can find a match. The system will try to match to a contact record based on the first name, last name, and email address or phone number. Otherwise, pledges will be assigned to the default contact. Staff can see and approve pledges in MinistryPlatform.

Custom Form

Add a custom form to your Mission Trip Application widget to gather additional information.

• Custom form questions display after the default fields that are always present.
• Form instructions display between the default fields and the custom form questions.
• Custom contact and address fields only display once.
• The widget ignores the custom form's end date. If the mission trip is available, the associated form displays.
• If the custom form requires people to log in (that is, Force Login is set to Yes), the person will be prompted to log in before they can sign up for the mission trip.
