With a ready-made SignUpGenius template, you can quickly set up your campaign, customize it for your cause, and give supporters an easy way to contribute. You can also invite others to fundraise on your behalf, helping you reach more people and make a bigger impact.

• Start with a template. Browse the available fundraising templates and select the Giving Tuesday peer-to-peer campaign. The template comes with a customizable banner, fundraising goal, donation button, description, and FAQs.
• Personalize your fundraising page. Add your own images, title, description, contact information, and campaign dates. Set a fundraising goal with a progress bar, and choose whether to display donor activity and leaderboards.
• Set up peer-to-peer fundraising. Allow participants to create individual fundraising pages that contribute toward your overall campaign. Customize participant invitations and choose which elements supporters can personalize on their pages.
• Customize donation options. Set suggested donation amounts, allow general donations, and add custom questions to collect information from donors. You can also create a personalized thank-you receipt to show your appreciation.
• Configure payment settings. Choose your accepted payment methods and decide whether your organization or donors will cover transaction fees. You can also include a custom message explaining the fee coverage option.
• Preview and publish your fundraiser. Review your page to make sure everything looks right before making your Giving Tuesday campaign live.
• Share your campaign and manage donations. Invite participants, organize fundraising teams, and share your campaign through a link, social media, website button, or QR code. Track your progress and generate reports and summaries from your dashboard.
