If you have teams enabled on your fundraising campaign, you will have the option to create new teams. For the vast majority of P2P campaigns, fundraising teams will be created by participants when they join your fundraising campaign, but there are some scenarios where you may need to create a team manually.
Note: If you are on a connected campaign, you can manually recreate the teams from your previous year’s campaign instead of creating them from scratch. This will allow you to sync team data over campaigns. Learn more about connected campaign features.
Steps
Visit your campaign’s Dashboard.
Click the Create button in the top right corner and select Team.
Enter the team name, fundraising goal, team page title, and story description.
You can also choose to customize additional details like the Vanity URL that will lead to the team page, the profile photo that appears on the Leaderboard, and the cover photo that appears on the team page.
Click Create Team.
Note: Manually created teams are created without a team captain. You will need to manually assign a team captain if you want a fundraising participant to be able to access team captain features on the team page. Learn more.
Frequently Asked Questions
I created a team that I no longer need. Can I delete it?
Yes. Visit the Recruit tab and the Participants table. Switch to the Team tab and search for the team you need to delete. Use the three dot menu to select Delete Team or click on the team to pull up the team profile and then select the trash can icon. You cannot undo deleting a team.
Best Practices
If you are creating lots of teams that may have similar content in their story description, you can customize the default content that appears on team pages. Visit Settings > Fundraising Pages to update the default team content.
