Add "other" option for fund on NXT Donation Designer Form

Donors should be able to type a designation for their gift if they do not want the default, without us having to check all possible funds for them to choose from (literally hundreds).  This option is available in OE version of the donation form, but not yet in NXT version.

    We have over 800 funds. Our donors did not like the query search in NetCommunity. I don't like that I have to click one at a time in NXT and go through each page. (This isn't the exact place for this complaint.)
    However - So that I don't have to include 800 funds in a drop down, or so that my donors don't have to know the exact name of a fund, it would be helpful to only display our top funds, and allow the donors to enter another fund.
    I made a workaround in which I give instructions for the donors to select a fund I created called "Other," and then type the fund name in a comment box, but that is clunky and confusing for someone who just wants to make an easy gift.
    We actually have used a third party for our donations because we can't do this. It might be easier on the back end, but that doesn't matter if there aren't gifts to process.

    Surely this is not the only request. Can we merge duplicates? This is SO IMPORTANT and makes our faculty staff veto using the new and improved NXT Donation Forms (confirmation emails are prettier than OLX)
