If you want to successfully launch a peer-to-peer fundraising campaign you will want to create an easy to follow set of instuctions for your fundraisers to create and launch a page. Below you will find a sample set of step by step instructions. We recommend that you take screen shots of each step using your organization's website and forms. You will want the screen shots to compliment the written instructions.
Set up a Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Campaign
The first step will be for you to set up a campaign that has peer-to-peer fundraising enabled. Please see our guide on Peer-to-Peer Fundraising for System Users to learn more.
After you have set up your peer-to-peer fundraising campaign, you will be provided with the Create Fundraiser Link. That will be the link that you put on your website or send in an email invitation.

Before you start, find a photograph for yourself and/or your team that you will put on your fundraiser page.
Step 2: You will end up on a login screen. You have 3 options: create a new account, sign in to an existing account, reset your password.
