Create a fundraiser
Create a donation fundraiser, set your goal, and invite participants to help your program raise money.
Start your fundraiser
On the Campaigns page or Store Dashboard, select Add Campaign, then Fundraiser Product.
Enter the name and description
Use letters and numbers for the fundraiser name; special characters aren't supported. Write a description of at least 154 characters to explain what you're raising money for.
Choose your goal
If you enable goal settings, enter the dollar amount without commas or spaces, then choose a goal type.
Collective Goal: Everyone works toward one shared fundraising target.
Individual Goal: Each participant has a fundraising target. You can split the goal between the participant and the organization's Angel Fund.
Participants can join either type, but individual credit requires an individual goal.
Add photos and fundraiser details
Upload one photo or several to create a gallery. Use JPG, JPEG, or PNG files up to 10 MB. PDFs aren't supported. Square images of at least 500 × 500 pixels are recommended.
Complete these settings:
- Fundraiser Start Date: When the fundraiser should begin.
- Fundraiser End Date: When it should end. The fundraiser automatically unpublishes at 11:59 p.m.
- Auto-publish Date: Optional. Automatically publish at 12:01 a.m. on the selected date.
- Custom Checkout Fields: Ask for information such as a participant's name or a message. Once a question has answers, hide it instead of removing it.
Organize your fundraiser
Choose a product category, such as Fundraisers, so supporters can find it in your store.
To add or reorder categories, open Settings > Product Categories. A category with no assigned products won't appear in the store.
Publish and invite participants
Review the details, then select Finish to publish.
Open the campaign's Participants tab and add your participants.
