Can I create more than one Campaign?
Of course! There is no limit to your number of Campaign you do. However, it’s best to concentrate on one at a time, and if you enjoy the experience of making a difference, try another one!
How do I set up a second Campaign with the same account?
Finished your first Campaign? Congrats! There are two ways to create a new campaign:
1. Click “Create Campaign” under “My Campaigns” on the admin menu (on the left)
2. Click “Create it” from the Getting Started Checklist that appears under “Design Another Campaign” when you’ve finished your first campaign.
How do I set up a Campaign for my team?
There are three ways to create team Campaigns:
OPTION 1: Ask the event or activity coordinator to create a Platform, under which multiple team Campaigns can be set up. Once you ceate a Campaign for your team an unlimited number of Champions (team members) can set up individual fundraising pages.
OPTION 2: Create one team page
Pros: Donations to individual team members are entered as a total. Takes less time to set up.
Cons: You cannot separate donations to specific team members.
1. Choose a team coordinator, who will register for an account (Join an existing campaign) and be the primary administrator for your online Campaign.
2. Share your username and login with teammates so that they can help manage your online Campaign.
3. Replace the Campaign Description, Profile Image, and Profile Background with your Team’s information. (Or, include individual bios for teammates in your Profile background.)
4. Ask teammates to send the coordinator a picture and bio, including a description of their reasons for joining the Campaign. Post information about each teammate in your Updates section, either in one post or a series of posts. If you choose to post each bio separately, teammates can direct their donors and supporters to the unique link for that post, which will display the relevant information about your campaign (example). Note: donations made on the unique link will be included in the <strong>total amount raised by the Team</strong> and not the individual team member.
5. Or, if your team chooses to post individual bios in the Profile, teammates can direct donors and supporters to the link for the team home page (Example)
OPTION 3: Create individual team member pages and one team page that links to individual accounts
Pros: Team members donations are separately tracked.
Cons: Donations are not totaled for the team. More work for team coordinator.
1. Team members register for individual accounts (Join an existing campaign).
2. In addition, a team coordinator can customize an individual account to reflect a team effort (see Option 1 above, Steps 1-3).
3. The coordinator can link individual accounts to the team page under Profile or Updates.
4. Team members can link the team account to their team page under Campaign description and/or Profile.
5. Team members direct donors and supporters to their individual pages.
