# How to Set Up Donations

 To utilize the Donations feature, organizers will need to create an opportunity in the same way they have done in the past. This time, however, they will see a 6th step, "Donations". This is where they will be able to customize the two prompts to be shown to participants. ![](https://support.goldenvolunteer.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/39413430356493-2.png)   Organizers will be asked if they want to enable donations. When they select "Yes", they will be prompted with other questions.  ![](https://support.goldenvolunteer.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/39413430358157-2.png)  ![](https://support.goldenvolunteer.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/39413412393613-2.png) You will have the option of activating one or both campaigns. Depending on the responses, they will be prompted with the following:  

### **Completion Rating**

 Organizers can customize the minimum reflection rating for the Completion prompt and also be able to customize a message. You will be able to preview the donation message before posting it live.   ![](https://support.goldenvolunteer.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/39413430364557-2.png)  

### **Post Cancellation**

 Organizers will be able to customize the message participants will see when they cancel a registration and see a preview of the donation message before posting it live.   ![](https://support.goldenvolunteer.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/39413430367373-2.png) If you have any questions, please reach out to your Client Strategy Lead or support@goldenvolunteer.com.
