What makes GoFundMe Charity so special is the ability to configure your campaign exactly to your organization’s needs. By the end of the design process, you’ll have a professional looking campaign that will fit seamlessly with your charity’s unique branding.
Step 1: Sign into your account and click Start New Campaign button. To locate this button, please navigate to the My Campaigns tab from within your account. You can find this by clicking your icon to open the Account Settings drop-down menu.
Step 2: Enter in a compelling campaign title, a campaign goal and a campaign story. Click Next.
Step 3: Upload and crop a photo in the appropriate format (jpg, jpeg, gif, or png) to fit within the 600 x 400 pixel size requirements. From there, click Campaign Manager to navigate to the page where you’ll begin customizing.
After you upload your photo, you can select the charity you would like to fundraise for. Important: If you create a campaign and raise funds for the wrong beneficiary, we cannot transfer the funds to the right beneficiary. Be sure to choose carefully!
Step 4: Customize your Campaign by clicking "Edit"
*If you would like to run a campaign with multiple teams or add registration to your campaign, please click the "+" to activate those features.*
If you would like to run a basic campaign without multiple teams, please click the Campaign card found underneath the title of your page and click Edit to get started.
Step 5: Navigate between the Content, Design, and Settings tab to personalize your page to your precise liking.
Step 6: Click Save with every change! You won’t be able to view your campaign from mobile until you publish, so you may want to do this from a computer.
Your basic page is done, but you can further configure if need be.
