How to change the recommended donation amounts for your fundraiser

      Give Once Recommendation: Enter the suggested amount for donors who want to make a one-time gift.
    2. b
      Monthly Giving Recommendation: Enter the suggested amount for donors who want to give monthly to your fundraiser.
