Fundraising Team Page

Find strength in numbers and make fundraising more fun as part of a team. Below is a full example of a Team Fundraising page showing and explaining all of its elements.

Associate the numbers and letters on the image below with the text further below to reveal more information about each item.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Team leaders can edit most of these elements at any time by logging in and clicking “Edit Team Page” (item B in the image above) in the top navigation bar.

    * Supported file types: JPG, PNG

  2. Team Name
    * Set by the team leader.
    * It can be changed until the first donation is received or the first team member joins, at which time it is locked in (since it is used as part of the team page's web address).

    * Set by the team leader and can be changed at any time.
    * The number of donors and progress toward the goal is calculated automatically via donations.

    * Currently, teams are open for anyone to join.
    * Users can only be on one team per campaign, whether as a leader or a member.

    * Allows users to donate to the team page directly.

  6. Donate to a Team Member Button
    * Links to a page showcasing all of the members of a team, from which donations can be made to a specific team member, rather than the whole team.

    * Offers a direct link to a page showcasing all of the members of a particular team.

    * Inherits the logo and description from the nonprofit for which the team is raising funds.

  15. Primary Media (Image/Video)

    - inherit the featured image from the beneficiary nonprofit’s Campaign Page
    - upload an own image (supported file types JPG and PNG; recommended dimensions: 2000 x 1200 pixels), which can be edited to fit the 5:3 aspect ratio using a built-in image sizer and cropper
    - paste in a link to a video
    - display nothing in this section.

  16. Team Updates
    * Written by the team leader. See note A ("Write an Update") below.
    * Notes can also be sent via email directly to team members.

The following notes refer to the navigational links at the top right of the page:

  • A. Write Update

    * There are two privacy settings: (1) public to anyone who views this page, and (2) for logged-in team members only.

  • B. Edit Team Page
    * Allows the team leader to update several fields they first encountered when creating the team, such as images, fundraising goals, and team description.

  • C. Manage Members
    * Allows the team leader to remove team members at any time.

  • D. User Dropdown Menu
    * Any logged-in user will see a list of that user's individual fundraising page(s) and team page(s), making it easy to move between them. This includes any and all of the individual fundraising pages and team pages associated with any nonprofit and campaign on Give Lively for which the user was or still is raising funds.
