Donation Form Integration Details
Integration Details:
Campaigns on this site are connected to existing Blackbaud Luminate Online donation forms, ensuring donations flow through the established fundraising system of record.
Consideration is underway to optionally create and connect Easy Pay Direct (EPD) processor gateway forms where appropriate, to support flexibility in payment processing and redundancy.
Purpose:
Acts as a temporary campaign-only website used for rapid deployment and contingency coverage (e.g., Ramadan campaigns).
Designed to ensure continuity if primary infrastructure is unavailable or changes are in progress.
This site is not intended to replace the primary website.
It is maintained as an interim, controlled solution aligned with business continuity and risk mitigation needs
