Beneficiary Categories are also known as Contact Forms

Why you may want to use Contact Forms
A charity can have several categories of beneficiary whom it helps. For example there might be
Volunteers
Children
Parents
Therefore the registration form for each category of person needs to be different because for the Children, the charity might want there to be fields for
School
Favourite Subject
Favourite Colour
Whereas for the parents, the charity might want the registration form to have fields such as:
Number of children
Employment status
Profession
Highest level of education
Beneficiary Categories are the solution; they allow the charity to create multiple registration forms for each category of beneficiary that they work with.
