Types of Campaigns
You can create 5 types of campaigns and even create fundraising teams:
Classic Campaign: This is a standard crowdfunding campaign, where you choose a donation goal and encourage your donors to help you reach it | Example
Team Campaign: Create a team of fundraisers. With the click of a button your supporters can join your "master" campaign and become fundraisers for your cause or organization. Each team member gets their own personal version of your campaign, and can set their own individual goal. Fundraisers become your ambassadors, bringing you new donors and donations | Example
Membership Campaign - Create a Patreon-style campaign to raise monthly donations and subscription payments. Set a target of the number of members you'd like to achieve (instead of a financial goal) and your payments will repeat every month | Example
Matching Campaign - Recruit a donor to match all donations in a campaign, and show your supporters how much their donation can be worth! This template shows each donor the impact of their matched donation - 2 times, 3 times and up to 10 times your campaign goal | Example
Rewards Campaign - Offer your donors rewards in exchange for their donation. Offer different gifts for different donation levels, and in different currencies. Easily track donations and gifts through your account | Example
You can currently create campaigns in English, Hebrew, French, Spanish, Arabic, and Russian.
