Peer-to-Peer Fundraising & Crowdfunding with Charitable

Last updated on

  • By

Peer-to-peer fundraising is a powerful fundraising channel for your non-profit. It gives your supporters a way of doing much more than just making a donation. As they create fundraising campaigns, your supporters spread awareness of your organisation through their network of family and friends.

With Charitable Ambassadors, you can give your supporters a platform to put together an amazing fundraiser for your organisation.

We’ve created a video tutorial on how to add peer-to-peer fundraising to your website.

If you prefer written instructions, read on.

Charitable Ambassadors allows you to create a public campaign submission form, using a simple shortcode.

You can also create a separate page that allows campaign creators to see the campaigns they have created. After your Ambassador has added a campaign, they can keep track of their fundraising efforts with this page.

The extension gives you configuration options to give you control over the campaign submission form. You can choose whether campaign creators are required to be logged in before submitting a campaign, force campaigns to be within a certain length and decide whether campaign creators can export a record of the donations made to their campaign.

Build Crowdfunding Communities with Charitable Ambassadors

Charitable Ambassadors lets you choose whether people can create fundraisers for personal causes.

When the Ambassador creates a campaign for a personal cause, they add their PayPal address, allowing you to send them any money their campaign raises.
