How can I add a Fundraiser?

The only way to add a Fundraiser on your website is by using the event template.

1. Navigate to Admin > Events.
2. Select Manage > Add Event from Template.
3. Choose Fundraiser - on Platform from the dropdown list.

Using the Event Template Wizard

The Event Template Wizard guides you through four simple steps to set up your event:

1. Basic Event Information

Key details such as the event name, dates, times, and fee types are pre-populated for you, but can be edited as necessary.

2. Donation amounts

Set the default donations amounts for your Fundraiser. An optional amount box will also be created.

3. Fundraising Information

Enter the goal amount you are looking to achieve and a description of the event.  Here you can check if you would like to allow individuals to register and have a unique fundraising link and QR code to share with family and friends. The amount raised will then be attributed to that individual child. You can also check if you would like leaderboards to show for class or group fundraising.

4. Volunteers

If applicable, specify the number of volunteers needed to help run the event.

Finalising Your Event

Once you have completed all steps in the wizard, click Create Template Event to add the event to your system.

To make any changes or upload an event image, click on the event name or select Edit from the Manage menu.

Sales start and end dates and purge data dates have been automatically created but can be amended here if necessary.

You can also amend your Fundraising goal and check/uncheck the following checkboxes:

The event will show in In your Home/Shop page with the three created products of Donations, Recurring Donations and Fundraiser Registration (if this checkbox has been checked):

Product questions will automatically be created to allow your recurring and one-off donation customers to leave a message about their donation, show or hide their name and show or hide their donation amount during the process:

The amount donated will automatically be shown on your Fundraiser total (recurring donations will also be automatically be added):

And the Supporter/Donation information will then be shown on the events page:
