How can we track one fundraising goal across several fundraisers?
Reviewed . Read as Markdown
Create an overall goal in Raised with your target, then link each campaign that counts towards it. Raised adds up the amount each campaign has raised, plus any money you record as raised offline, and shows one combined total and percentage. The total updates by itself as orders and donations come in.
Which fundraisers can count towards one goal?
Any Raised campaign can be linked: product fundraisers such as pie or cookie dough drives, donation pages, crowdfunding and sponsored athons. Campaigns that have already ended can be linked too, so a fundraiser from earlier in the year still counts.
Each campaign counts towards one goal at a time, and only campaigns in the goal's currency can be linked, so NZD and AUD are never added together.
What about money raised outside Raised?
Record it as a manual donation on the goal, with what it came from, the amount and the date. A cash mufti day, a sausage sizzle or a Board of Trustees grant all work. Manual donations count towards the goal only. They do not change any campaign's total, payout or receipt, and carry no fees because the money never goes through Raised.
How do you set it up?
It takes a few minutes once your campaigns exist.
- In your dashboard, go to Overall Goals and click New goal.
- Enter a name, target and currency, and pick a colour.
- Under Campaigns, click Add next to each fundraiser that counts towards the goal.
- Under Manual donations, add any money raised offline.
- Share the goal page link, or embed the thermometer on your website.
