your Organization Name on your finished site. This might be your
Organization’s tag line or motto.
2. Upload a photo or logo: To customize your site,
upload your own photo or logo. This can be a picture or your group,
mascot, crest, etc. If you don't have an image to use, feel free to
select one from our collection
3. Select your Color Theme: Select your banner and
button color (primary color on your site), and select your text

in the header and on the buttons.
4. Provide your
online sales goal and choose a progress meter.
5. Provide additional
description if you wish to give supporters more information about
your group or the reason you are raising funds.
6. Save your site.
Manage Your Fundraisers
If you need to edit your site, view reports, share
the link with supporters, or any other relevant action with your
site, the way to do this is ot log into your My Fundraiser page and
signing in with your username and password. Your representative
will register your fundraiser on your behalf and will assign you a
username and password.

Notice there are 3 sections to this page. Active,
Pending and Completed Fundraisers.
1. Active fundraisers are
ones that are currently available for online shopping by
supporters. There are a number of tools available for Active
Fundraisers.

To edit any details of
the registration including contact details and the dates the
fundraiser will be held, click on the Campaign Name that is a link.
In the example above, the link is Dogs Need Toys Too. Clicking on
that link will open the initial registration form and allow almost
any field to be edited.
Clicking on E-mail
Supporters will open a dialog box and prompt for your e-mail
address. An e-mail will be sent to that address, and the
Organization can then forward the e-mail to its participants
(sellers/students)> The e-mail instructs them how to register as a
participant, and provides other details of the fundraiser.
When the Reports link
is clicked, the list can either be filtered by "All Registered
Participants" or "Participant Sales Only.” This allows the
Organization to see what participants have registered regardless of
sales, or they can filter on Participant Sales Only and see a list
of participants that have received sales to their credit for the
purpose of prizes or credit toward their personal goal.
Edit Site allows you
to edit your site text, colors and your image.
View Site
will open your shopping site so that
you can shop from it or use the social tools that are included on
the site.
2. Pending fundraisers have been registered, but
have information that is not fully complete for shopping to begin.

The reasons a registration might still be pending
are:
- The online site has not yet been created. In the
image above under "Site Created," it says "No" and there is a link
beside that labeled "Create." This shows the user that the site has
not yet been created and prompts her/him with the link to use to do
so.
- The registration was created as tax exempt and the
form has not yet been sent and/or approved by the tax department.
This is indicated by a "No" in the "Tax Exempt Approved?" column.
3. Completed fundraisers are the fundraisers that
have already been submitted and/or the online closing date has
passed. The user can still see these for reports, but no portion is
editable.

Create a New Campaign
Using the Create a New Campaign button allows an
Organization to create an additional fundraiser with the same
username/password. This minimizes data entry for registering and
allows you to see all of your registered fundraisers in one place.

When registering this way:
- All of the information is taken from the
originally registered fundraiser.
- The tax exemption selection is assumed to the
same. However, you tax exemption certificate will need to be
submitted to the tax department for approval for each new campaign.
Your representative should have a copy of your tax exemption
certificate on file.
- You'll need to select which brochure you want to
use with your new campaign.
- Start and End dates are requested as each campaign
is likely to be different.
- You'll create a new code for the new site.
- Campaign name
is what shows immediately below the Organization Name on the
shopping site.
- Online closing date determines the duration of
availability for online orders.
Using Your Shopping Site
Now that your site is created there are several
tools built into the site itself that will be beneficial to you.
Share Your Fundraiser with Supporters.

Anyone shopping on your site can help you get the
word out to other potential supporters.
In the Share Our Fundraiser section:
- You can send yourself an e-mail that includes the
shopping link that you ca then easily forward to anyone in your
address book encouraging her to support the group.
- You can create a post on you Facebook wall to
share the shopping link for your fundraiser in a forum where
extended social network will see it and have an opportunity to
shop.
- You can share the fundraiser on Twitter and other
social media to provide excellent visibility to your fundraiser to a
much larger audience than was previously possible.
Communicate Your Goals and Progress
There is a section on your shopping site that gives
visitors information about when your fundraiser is scheduled to come
to a close, what your goal is for online sales and the progress
you've made toward your goal so far.

Participant Registration
If your Organization is awarding prizes for sales or
giving participant credit toward individual expenses based on sales
made on their behalf, it is important to have the participants
register. They can do this by simply providing their First Name,
and e-mail address on the shopping site.

When your participants register, they will
automatically receive an e-mail with their unique URL that ensures
that that individual gets credit for sales made using that link. By
forwarding that e-mail to their friends and family, it can be
guaranteed that anyone who shops using that link does so to the
credit of that participant. When the supporters shop, their
participants name will be shown on the check out page in a section
labeled "Please Credit this sale to."
