UCSC Giving Functionality Plugin

Description

This plugin provides custom functionality to the UC Santa Cruz Giving website by creating a custom post type for the Giving funds and linking each fund to its Giving Designation Form offsite.

Each fund can be designated a "Priority" fund or a "Standard" fund. Priority funds are described in their own Single Post template and link to their fund designation form from the post. Standard funds link straight to their fund designation form from their archive page or query loop display.
