Fundraising Card Help Guide
A step-by-step walkthrough for members on how to create and set up a fundraising card for their club's event.
Contents
Select an Event
Your fundraising card must be linked to an active fundraiser event created by your club admin. Start by choosing the event from the dropdown at the top of the create form.
- Select Event — Choose the fundraiser event your card belongs to. Only active, open events for your club are listed here. Required
- The event name, start date, and end date are shown in the dropdown to help you pick the right one.
- Once an event is selected, the AI Generate button becomes available on the description field.
Card Title & Description
Give your fundraising card a personal title and description. These are visible to supporters when they view your card.
-
Title — A short, personal name for your card. This appears on the card listing and detail page.
Required
Example: "Melanie's Fundraising Card" -
Description — Tell supporters who you are, what you're raising funds for, and why their donation matters.
Required
Example: "I'm raising funds to help our team compete at State. Every donation goes a long way — thank you!"
Card Template
Templates control the visual appearance of your fundraising card — the background, colors, and layout that supporters see when they open your card to select days.
- Select Template — Choose from the templates your club admin has created. Optional
- Select No template to use the default plain layout.
- Templates are managed by your club admin under Card Templates in the sidebar.
Member Information
Enter the name of the member this fundraising card belongs to. This is the name displayed prominently on the card listing so supporters know whose card they're donating to.
-
Member Name — The full name of the member (athlete, student, participant, etc.).
Required
Example: "Melanie Smith"
Member Picture
Upload a photo for the member. This photo appears as the avatar on the fundraising card listing and makes the card more personal and recognizable.
- Click the upload area or the photo placeholder to open the file picker.
- Accepted formats: PNG, JPG, GIF.
- Maximum file size: 15 MB.
- A preview of the selected photo appears immediately — verify it looks correct before submitting.
Submitting Your Card
Once all required fields are filled in, click Create Fundraising Card at the bottom of the page to submit.
- Required fields: Event, Title, Description, and Member Name.
- If any required field is missing, the form will highlight it and scroll to the first error.
- On success you are redirected to your new fundraising card's detail page where you can immediately share it.
To discard your changes, click Cancel — you'll be returned to the Fundraising Cards listing without saving anything.
After Your Card Is Created
Once created, your card detail page gives you several tools to manage and promote your fundraiser:
- Share — Copy or share your card link directly with family and friends via social media, email, or text.
- Print Cards — Generate a printable version of your fundraising card to hand out in person.
- Edit — Update your title, description, template, member name, or photo at any time (only available to the card owner).
- Track progress — The card detail page shows which days have been selected, how much has been raised, and the overall completion status.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I create more than one fundraising card?
Yes — you can create a card for each active fundraiser event your club has open. Each card is separate and tracks its own donations.
Can someone else create a card for a member?
Yes — any logged-in member of the club can create a card. The Member Name field lets you enter someone else's name, so a parent or team manager can create cards on behalf of members.
What happens after the event ends?
The card remains visible but is locked — no new day selections can be made. All existing selections and payment records are preserved.
How do supporters pay?
Supporters visit your card, enter their email, select one or more numbered days, and click Click here to pay. Payment is processed through your club's configured payment provider.
Can I change the template after my card is created?
Yes — click Edit on your card detail page and choose a different template from the dropdown. The change is applied immediately.
I don't see the event I need — what do I do?
Contact your club admin. They need to create the fundraiser event and mark it as a Fundraiser before it appears in your card creation form.
