The Goal: Locate the automatically generated contribution link for a fundraiser and share it so supporters can donate.
Before You Begin:
- You must have already added a fundraiser — the contribution link is created automatically once a fundraiser exists.
- You need permission to access fundraising records in your database.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Once you have added a fundraiser, a link is automatically created on the Setup tab.
- Go to Revenue, click Fundraising, then open the appropriate fundraiser.
- Select the Setup tab on the fundraiser.
-
The Contribution Link will be displayed at the top. Copy and distribute this link as needed.
This link may be shared in many ways:
- On your public website: Embed this link on your website.
- Email/Newsletters: Send the link via email or include it in your newsletters.
- Membership Application Form: You may choose to enable Collect Donations on your membership application form.
- Event Registrations: You may choose to enable Collect Donations on your event registration forms.
Common Pitfalls
- Sharing before the fundraiser is live: The contribution link exists as soon as the fundraiser is created, but confirm the fundraiser is active and configured before distributing the link so supporters land on a working donation page.
