Preset Amounts on a Donations Form

- Suggest gift sizes for easy giving (e.g., $25 donation, $50 donation, $100 donation)
- Suggest gift sizes for specific causes (e.g., $25 new shoes for family, $50 clean water filter, $100 school lunches for a year)
- Suggest gift sizes for giving levels (e.g., $100 silver, $500 gold, $1,000 diamond)
