Budget Donations?

The donation forms used to have an "other" category for members to donate to the specific needs of the ward. I know this has been removed, but what is the recommended way for members to donate to the ward budget for youth or other acitivities?

That's news to me. I haven't seen slips without the 'Other' box. The picture for the slips on store.churchofjesuschrist.org still shows an 'Other' box. Can you upload a picture of these new slips? I'd be interested in seeing what they look like.

The paper Tithing and Other Offerings slip still has, or should have, the "Other" category. The online donations e-slip form does not have the "Other" category.

Donations for local unit categories cannot be made online. Instead they must be made using the paper Tithing and Other Offerings slip and the donation given to a member of the bishopric.

As eblood66 stated, we would like to know if your unit has received an order of paper Tithing and Other Offerings slips from the online store without the "Other" category printed on them. That would be highly unusual.

One cannot donate to budget.

Although in general donations to budget are not allowed, under current policy payments for youth camp are to be deposited in an appropriate budget category. Payments any other activity are not permitted.

It appears to me the OP wanted to donate to the budget for youth and other activities.
