Step 1: Choose an Organization to support and Create a Fundraiser
Find your favorite nonprofit at the Giving Day homepage using the website's search bar, the organization's public profile URL, or from the Nonprofit Search page, click on the nonprofit’s logo or “Learn more”. From the nonprofit's page, select the "Create a Fundraiser" button.
If you cannot find your favorite nonprofit, they have not registered to participate in the Giving Day event. Check back at a later date or contact the nonprofit to confirm participation.
You will be prompted to log in or create a new donor account if you don't have one.
Once you are logged in, select the 'Create New' button on the Fundraisers tab.
Step 2: Personalize your Fundraising page
Use the editing tool on the left side to adjust your Fundraiser Title, Custom URL, and goal. Then, select Next.
Tips for filling out your page details:
- Only input numeric characters into the Set Up a Goal field (no commas, decimals, or dollar signs). For example, if your goal is $1,000 input 1000 into that field.
- Only input alpha-numeric characters into the Custom URL field, and do not input spaces. For example, if you would like your URL to be https://www.yourgivingday.org/fundraiser/00000/myfundraiser, you would input myfundraiser into that field.
Step 3: Tell your Fundraiser Story
Write a bit about why this particular organization’s goals matter to you. A compelling fundraiser story can inspire more generosity for your chosen cause! When finished, select Next.
Step 4: Select your Image
Upload an image. When finished, select Next.
Tips:
Images should be a minimum of 400×400px and look best in a 4:3 aspect ratio. Large images will be automatically resized. Accepted image types: JPEG, PNG.
Step 5: Publish & Share your Fundraiser to help your cause!
Review the information. When finished, select Publish.
Fundraisers are only successful when they're shared! Copy your Fundraiser's unique URL to share with family, friends, and other contacts in email and posts to social media. Please note: it may take up to 2 hours for your Fundraising Page to show publicly. Once it does, you may share your Fundraising Page’s direct link with your community by clicking the Share function or sharing via Social media using the corresponding Facebook or Twitter icons.
