NOTE: Once the new fundraiser is saved, a Donation Link will be available on the Donations Setup tab. This link may be added to your web-page or distributed via email.

Additional setup/configuration options for your fundraisers are described below.

Customize Fundraiser Settings


Assign a Payment Gateway to your Fundraiser


By default, the gateway that you have set in your Finance > General Settings will be used for processing credit card payments. If you wish to use a different gateway, you will need to set this up first. If you are using GrowthZone Pay, see Setup GrowthZone Pay for instructions. If you are using an alternate processor, contact our support team for assistance. To assign a different gateway to your fundraiser:

  1. For the desired fundraiser, click the Donation Setup tab.

  3. Click Save.

Enable/Disable Organization Donation Option


In cases where you would like donations to be submitted on behalf of organizations, rather than individuals, you will turn on Enable Organization Donation Option. In other cases, perhaps PAC contributions, where it is against federal regulations to collect PAC donations from companies or businesses, you may need to disable this option.

  1. For the desired fundraiser, click the Donation Setup tab.
