You can use the design elements - a logo, background image, colors and fonts - to make it memorable for supporters. 

Note: The page builder will populate with dummy data as you work. The published page will reflect the accurate numbers.  

Once you've customized the page, hit Publish to launch your cause! 

If this is your first page, you'll be asked to set up a payment processor This provides the needed details to deposit the funds you raise into your bank account. 

Nice work! Now your page is live and ready to accept donations!


How Supporters Create Their Fundraisers

If a Supporter would like to fundraise on your behalf, they have the option to create their own fundraiser or sub-page. 

They can select Fundraise For This Cause at the top of your live page. 

On the sign-up page, the Supporter can... 

  • Set their own fundraising goal (Or you can lock this goal in as the organizer) 

  • Add their own story

  • Add a custom thank you 

  • Upload a profile picture 

  • Upload their own photos/videos 

Note: They must use a legitimate email address to verify their page. 

Once they've completed the sign-up details, they can select Create Your Page to launch their sub-page. 

The page will appear in a pending status until they verify their email, the link to do so will be in their inbox shortly after account creation. Once verified, the page will appear on the main giving page.
