Collect Contributions from your Members

A common perk of many Programs is contributions from your Program Members to your initiatives. These contributions could be blog posts on your behalf, videos, code contributions, or simple product feedback.

With Orbit Programs, you can host a form that your members can use to submit any contributions they have done. When configured, your members will be able to see and submit a form like this:

Configure your Contribution Form

In the Program Settings, you can set the Title and Description located at the top of the Form Submission Page:

Share the Contribution Form with your Program Members

Using the “Copy Form Link” button in the screenshot above, you can copy a public URL that your program members can access and submit their contributions. You can share this link via a Discord/Slack Channel or email to your program members.

Mark Existing Activities as Contributions

You may already have contributions coming into Orbit as Activities that you want to mark as contributions on behalf of your members. To do so, visit the Feed of your program and click on the Star icon next to the relevant activity:

View your Program Contributions

To view a feed of contributions and overall contribution statistics, go to the Feed of your Program and click on the “Contributions” tab:

Share a list of Contributions Publicly

To help amplify your members’ contributions, Orbit Programs allows you to embed a real-time list of contributions in your website. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the “Contributions” page of your Program and click “Embed Contributions”:

⚠️
Note: This button will say “Public Contributions Hub” if you have already created your Contributions Page
  1. Click “Create”
  2. A link will be shown. This link can be embedded in your website to publicize the program’s contributions.

Here is an example of a Contribution Hub:
