With the Mission Trip Application Widget, individuals can complete an application for a specific mission trip, along with pledging to raise a required amount. Check out the Missions Trip Application Widget in action at Widget Church!

• Displays a Pledge Campaign of the Pledge Campaign Type Mission Trip.
• You can use a URL parameter to specify which mission trip to display. See "Optional URL Parameter" on Widget Configuration.
• Applicants are required to meet a Fundraising Goal, and submitting an application creates a Pledge of this amount. No funds are collected during the application.
• Campaign efforts are represented visually by a progress bar indicating both Pledges and Donations made toward those Pledges.
• 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).
• Leverage 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'll be joining you!
