Step 4: Create your team name and set your financial goal.

Your team page will have a video and photos automatically uploaded for you. We recommend

that you add your own personal photos and personalize your story to capture the genuine

reason(s) why you are running in support of Camp Korey. This will help motivate your

supporters to contribute to your effort.

Once complete, scroll to the very bottom and select: “Next”.


Step 5: You will now be directed to the next page and are now ready to “Go to Your

Campaign” and edit the page!


Step 6: Now you are in the Campaign editor section. You will noticed that “Edit” is highlighted

in red at the top right hand toolbar. This means that you are in the right area to edit your team

page.

Step 7: Place your mouse over “Team Page” select and Select “Edit”.


Step 8: You are now directed to the team page-editing tool where on the left side panel you’ll

be able to edit the name, photos, videos, story, and goal

Once you are finished with editing your information, scroll to the very bottom of the left hand

side bar and select “Save”.

Step 9: You may also want to edit your settings. Under “Settings”, you are able to create a

customized URL/web link, disable anyone being able to join your team, and hide donation

amounts. After you have completed editing your settings, scroll to the bottom of the left hand

sidebar and click “Save”. After you select “Save”, hit the X on the top left hand sidebar.


Step 10: After you hit the X as described in Step 9 you will be taken back to the Campaign

editor page. Select “View” from the top right hand side tool bar to view your live team

fundraiser page. You are also able to access the My Campaigns section by simply selecting

your initials at the top right and clicking.

Final Step: When you select “View” as described in Step 10 you will be taken to your page.

Your supporters will be interacting with this page the most. Scroll all the way to the bottom and

select, “Share” to retrieve your URL/web link. You will share this link with your constituents.

*You will noticed that your link is rather long. We suggest copying your campaign link

and using a web link-shortening website like https://bitly.com/

The next series of instructions are to guide you through managing your fundraising page. Through the

manage tools you are able to post updates and add offline donations (i.e.; checks that people may have

written to you that you are sending via mail to Camp).

Step 1: Visit: https://www.crowdrise.com/ and select “Log In” at the top, right hand side of the

page.

On the next page you will be prompted to enter your CrowdRise email and password

credentials. Once completed, you will be directed to the My Campaigns page.

Place your mouse over your campaign and select: Manage.

https://www.crowdrise.com/


Step 2: On the manage screen of your fundraiser you will be able to send updates to your

supporters. When you post campaign updates it will send alerts to all donors via email. It will

also post on your team fundraising page for any visitors to see.

On the right hand side, you’ll also see an option to “Add Offline Donations”. This is where you

would manually enter any gifts that are not processed through CrowdRise’s platform.

Examples of these kinds of gifts include cash and check donations that you are sending

directly to Camp Korey via mail.

Step 3: Another helpful tool is the Reports functionality within CrowdRise. Reports are found

back on the My Campaigns page.


Step 4: After selecting reports, you will be taken to the Report Center. This is where you can

run a donation report. Donation reports are great for if you want to write handwritten notes to

your supporters to personally thank them.
