How to finalize your a-thon fundraiser

Finalizing your a-thon fundraiser is a key step to accomplishing your fundraiser's goals. This step allows us to calculate the final amount to charge your donors for their pledges based on the activity that was completed in the fundraiser.

We'll show you how to finalize your fundraiser in the steps below. 

Before you finalize

Before finalizing your a-thon experience, take a few moments to go through the following steps.

How to finalize

Once the end date for your a-thon fundraiser is reached, a new FINALIZE button will appear on the enter activity results page. You won't be able to finalize your fundraiser until your end date is reached.

Once you've completed the steps above and your experience has ended, you’re ready to finalize your experience. Simply go to the enter activity results page and click the finalize results button.

Please note that once you finalize results, no additional activity results can be entered into your experience. Donors’ credit cards will be charged when you finalize results and the total amount raised will be updated as well. Your a-thon fundraiser will be completed once you finalize.
