Ready to launch your fundraiser? Creating a campaign with SignUpGenius Giving is quick, straightforward, and dare we say... kinda fun. Here's how to get your page set up and ready to share with the world (or just your PTA group - same vibe).
1. Click "Create a Campaign"
Once you're logged in, click the button to kick off the campaign setup flow, where you’ll fill in the basics to bring your fundraiser to life.
2. Add the Essentials
You'll be prompted to add the key details for your campaign using a wizard. You can also skip the wizard and fill in the details on the campaign page.
- Campaign Title – Keep it short, clear, and catchy.
- Campaign Goal – How much are you hoping to raise? You can always update it later.
- End Date – Not ready to commit? No pressure—you can change this later too.
- Campaign Description – Tell people what you're fundraising for and why it matters. Be specific and heartfelt.
3. Customize the Look
Upload a cover image and, if you’d like, add more photos or videos to tell your story. Visuals help connect your supporters to your cause!
Step 4: (Optional, but recommended!) Set Contribution Levels
Want to guide donors toward common contribution amounts? You can add Giving Levels, like:
- $25 = School Supplies for One Student
- $50 = One Week of Meals for a Family
It’s not required, but it helps people know what kind of impact their donation could make.
Step 5: Save & Preview
Once you’ve filled out your campaign info and added visuals, click Save to preview your page. Take a look, make sure everything looks right, and pat yourself on the back. If you need to make changes, make sure you hit the Update button at the bottom of the page.
Heads Up: You don’t need to connect your Stripe account yet—but you will before your campaign can start accepting donations.
