Setting Up Your Campaign
Campaign Settings – Configuring your campaign's settings is the first step in creating the peer-to-peer fundraiser of your dreams!
Classifications vs. Categories – Classifications and categories are the registration options that will be available to your participants.
Categories – Categories are essential to peer-to-peer campaigns. You must have at least one active category for participants to register.
Classifications - Classifications are optional. They allow you to create more specific groupings of registrants.
Donation Settings – Configure your donation amounts, add amount images, and enable additional tools, including Express Donate and Smart Amounts.
Donation Fields – Review the system and custom fields you can use to collect information from your donors.
Custom Fields – Use custom fields to collect additional information from your registrants.
Text-to-Donate – If you have the Text Fundraising or Giving+ package, you can use Text-to-Donate for peer-to-peer. Create up to ten keywords per campaign, and empower your participants to create their own keywords to share with supporters.
Designing Your Campaign
