Looking to get your campaign off the ground fast? Use the following guide to make sure you've customized the most important areas of your campaign. If you haven't yet created your campaign, start by viewing step-by-step instructions for creating a campaign.
Campaign Basics
When you create a new campaign or duplicate a campaign, you'll provide several details that cover the basic settings, such as your campaign name, vanity URL, and fundraising goal. You can update these settings at any time by visiting Settings > General Settings. It's good to double check they're correct before sharing your campaign.
Page Design
Curate the look and feel of your campaign. Adding even some light customization can help your campaign feel like an extension of your organization's branding and build trust among participants and donors. Because the main call to action is to donate, you'll want to have strong imagery and language that inspires your audience to give.
Tip: Use the Impact Stories content block to showcase the value of a gift and what it means for your cause. This adds additional visual engagement to your page and makes it easy for folks to give suggested amounts.
Donor Experience
Customize the donation options donors see and ensure you're collecting the information you need from donors.
Additional Features
Covering the above items will make sure your campaign is in a strong place before sharing it with donors. You can always make adjustments as needed or choose to enable additional features.
The following features can be enabled at anytime on your campaign if you'd like to expand your revenue beyond just donations. Once enabled, new sections will be activated in your Dashboard to help you use and customize these tools:
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I launch my campaign? Do I have to indicate it is live?
Your campaign is not publicly accessible until you choose to circulate the link. When you're ready to launch, simply begin sharing your campaign's URL widely. Visit your campaign's homepage to copy the URL from the address bar or copy your campaign's link from your Dashboard home.
