To create a fundraiser, go to your Dashboard and click the Create a Fundraiser button under the Quick Start menu.
On the following page, you will see a step-by-step process for setting up your fundraiser. You can enter all the necessary information to customize your fundraiser. Most options are similar to those for creating other events in HQ.
Setting up Event-Based Fundraisers vs Ongoing Fundraisers in HQ
The first step is selecting the fundraiser type you want to create.
Event-based fundraiser: Raise funds by hosting events like charity runs, auctions, or galas.
Ongoing fundraiser: Raise funds for a specific cause over a period of time to support specific projects, equipment needs, crowdfunding campaigns, online donation drives for organizations/causes, booster club campaigns, etc.
Enter the name of your fundraiser that helps your donors identify your campaign.
Next, set a fundraising dollar amount goal for your campaign.
Add the participating schools under the Schools section. Please note that the financial school will get paid for the funds raised.
You can choose the Venue for your fundraiser. This is especially helpful if you want to take donations in person using Box Office.
Similar to creating tickets for sporting events, you can create Donation Levels that donors can choose from. If you select to turn on a Unique link, the donation level can only be seen by the person to whom you send the link. If this option is turned on, Donor pay fees will pass on any service fee to the donor.
Before you publish your fundraiser, we recommend you review the information entered using the Your Fundraiser Settings window on the right side of the page.
Click on the Publish Fundraiser button on the bottom right once everything is confirmed.
