Events pages are a great fit for:
Events-focused organizations that run large, complicated, fundraising events - such as galas, dinners, concerts, or sporting events
Organizations that use an Auctions page as part of their event
Organizations that will utilize livestreaming as part of their event
Organizations that are currently using multiple systems to manage their events, communications, and donors separately
Organizations that need to solicit and manage sponsorships to help cover the cost of their events
Organizations that want to maximize donations and participants for their events
To learn how to create this type of fundraising page, please follow the steps below.
Step 1: Log into your Fundraising Pages account.
If you’re currently in Donor Management, you should be able to access Fundraising Pages by clicking on the “My Tools” dropdown menu in the top right corner, and selecting the option for “Fundraising Pages.”
Step 2: Select "Add Campaign" on the "My Campaigns" page, then select "Event campaign."
Step 3: Add basic information for your event.
On the next screen, you'll be asked to provide some basic details on your event, such as the event's name, when the event is scheduled to start and end, and your fundraising and attendance goals.
Once you've filled out this information, please click the "Next" button towards the top-right corner of your screen.
Step 4: Add information about your event's location.
The next step will ask you to determine whether your event is a virtual event, an in-person event, or a hybrid event with both virtual and in-person elements.
Depending on which option you select, you'll be asked to provide additional information; for example, if you select a "hybrid" or "virtual" event type, you'll be asked if you will be running a livestream event at the same time.
Alternatively, if you select either a "hybrid" or "in-person" event type, you'll be asked for the physical location where your event will be taking place (so you can easily share that with your attendees)!
Not sure if you'll be running a livestream, or where your event will be held? Not to worry, this information can be updated or adjusted after the page has been created.
Once you've filled out this information, please click the "Next" button towards the top-right corner of your screen.
Step 5: Add any ticket types or registration options you'd like to include for your event.
On the next screen, you'll be asked to create at least one ticket type for your event.
If you aren't sure what types of tickets you'll be offering, you can skip this step and add ticket types later - they can be found under the "Tickets & Sponsorships" tab on your Event overview.
If you're looking to add sponsorships, you'll be able to do so once your Events page has been published; you don't need to add any of those on this screen.
Step 6: Build your Events page.
You should now be able to build out the relevant details of your event directly on the Events page, and add some additional, personalized touches - like a main display photo or a catchy headline.
The left-hand side of the screen should update in real time as you make changes to those fields on the right, so you can see exactly what those details will look like to your attendees.
You can also add a fundraising goal for your event, which will automatically add a "donation progress bar" to your Events page.
This allows your guests to see donations come in live and actually watch the progress towards meeting your donation goal - which can sometimes make your participants even more likely to donate!
Once you've filled out this information, please click the "Next" button towards the top-right corner of your screen. (Please note that you will need to complete at least the "Details" section on this page in order to move forward.)
Step 7: Review and publish your Events page.
On this final step, you should see a miniaturized version of your page for you to review.
If everything looks correct, you can click on either of the "Publish Event" buttons on this page - which will finalize and publish the page so it becomes both active.
