Creating a Guest Giving Campaign
Under the Give tab, select Campaigns
To the top right, select Start Campaign to create your public-facing Campaign landing page
Complete the required details on the left side of the screen, adding images, selecting the desired charity and website link, setting a financial goal and start date, and including a custom message for outside contributors.
Though not required, users will have the ability to determine the end of the campaign by indicating either an end date, or the accomplishing of the set goal (or both!)
Once you have completed and reviewed the required details, select Create Campaign to set it live (Please note: Once a campaign is live, the text fields and descriptions cannot be altered!)
After setting the campaign live, returning to the Campaign dashboard will allow you to view your active and past campaigns, enabling you to copy the link and share with your community as you see fit
Once shared via a copied link, outside contributors will be able to visit your Campaign page, select Donate, and contribute via Credit Card. Shortly after the contribution is made, each outside contributor will receive a confirmation and tax receipt for their contribution.
Once the campaign is ended, whether after reaching the goal, the end date, or by ending the campaign manually (select the campaign in the Campaign dashboard and click Delete Campaign on the top right), the BlueGive operations team will process all contributions and send a single check for the total value to the charity selected (Note: Grants will be made as unrestricted grants, meaning, there is not currently the ability to include a grant note. Once the campaign is created and money is collected, all funds will be sent to the charity with zero exceptions).
