How-to: Allow Supporters to Fundraise for Your Organization

Permit a supporter to run a fundraiser for your organization while still ensuring you have complete oversight.

There may be times when you're contacted by a supporter or company requesting permission to fundraise on your organization's behalf. If you like, you can add them to your Givebacks account as an Advocate, which will allow them to create fundraisers that automatically match your organization's branding settings. The funds raised will also be sent directly to your Stripe account.

The advocate will not have access to your organization account settings, only the Campaign Setup menu.

Invite an Advocate

1. Go to Settings in the left menu and select User Management.
2. Click on ACTIONS and select ADD ADVOCATE.
3. Enter the advocate's email address, check the box next to I authorize this person to start a fundraiser for [organization name], and select Invite:

Good to know: 

• Once you invite them, the advocate will receive a link via email to get started.
• Raffles and Sweepstakes have legal requirements depending on your geographic location. Please be aware of any legal requirements in your area regarding these Campaign types.
• You’ll be able to view, manage, or edit the fundraiser at any time. Feel free to reach out to your advocate(s) to suggest edits to the fundraiser or require specific terms to be listed.
