    4443## Why choose Classy from GoFundMe's nonprofit donation forms?
    45 
    4644Only Classy from GoFundMe gives you both the tested performance and design controls you need to maximize website contributions. Others restrict branding in the name of "optimization," which means every form starts to look the same. We start with high-converting donation forms and let you break the one-size-fits-all mold with donor flows that deliver more because they're personal.

    4846## What our customers say
    49 
    5047"So many potential donors are lost when directed to a new webpage, and we wanted to remove as many barriers as possible. We now have an embedded donation form on our homepage and plan to add them on more web pages in the future since we've seen such positive results so far with first-time donors." - Karam Foundation

IAA then uses these IDs to create personalized donation suggestions to help nonprofits raise more. Nonprofits have the ability to enable or disable the IAA feature, so it will not automatically be enabled with the plugin installation.
