How-to: Add Peer-to-Peer Prizes

Offer prizes to Peer-to-Peer participants and teams.

When you run a Peer-to-Peer fundraising Experience on Givebacks, you can offer prizes to motivate participants* and/or teams* to raise more for your cause. However, only giving prizes to those who raised the most money may not be ideal for your situation. Givebacks allows you to fully customize your prize options to meet your unique fundraising needs.

If your fundraiser experience doesn't match the descriptions below, please click here to go to the appropriate help article.

Before You Begin

Learn how to enable Peer-to-Peer on your fundraising Experience in this Knowledge Base article: What Is Peer-to-Peer Fundraising?

Prize Options

Givebacks offers the following prize options:

Amount raised: Reward the participant and/or team that raises the most money.
Fundraising goal: Reward all participants and/or teams that raise a specific amount (e.g., $100 or more).
Unique donors: Reward the participant and/or team that has the most donors.
Units completed (A-Thon only): Reward the A-Thon participant and/or team that completes the most units of an activity.

You can offer prizes for one, multiple, or all of these options. You can also offer multiple prizes per option and allow more than one participant or team to win each prize.
