Donation Drive Campaign
Use a Donation Drive campaign (formerly called Fundraiser) to set a goal and collect donations for a project or achievement, no event required.
Donation Drive campaigns were previously called **Fundraiser** campaigns. For a while, the campaign builder shows “Donation Drive (formerly Fundraiser)” so the new name is easy to spot. Existing campaigns work exactly as before.
Use a Donation Drive to ask supporters to give directly, no event required. If you’re planning a Fun Run, Read-A-Thon, or Jog-A-Thon where friends and family donate to cheer on your students, use a Pledge-A-Thon campaign instead.

First Step
Options
When creating the campaign, the following options are specified:
| Option | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Yes | The name of the campaign |
| Description | No | A rich text description of the campaign. |
| Campaign Type | Yes | Must be set to Donation Drive. This cannot be changed once the campaign is created. |
| Organization | Yes | The organization to associate with purchases from campaign. This cannot be changed once the campaign is created. |
| Amount | Yes | Specify up to four amounts for parents to select when donating. One amount is required. |
| Goal Amount | Yes | The goal amount for the campaign. This is displayed as a goal meter in the campaign. |
Donation Drive campaigns also show a “Who is this purchase for?” picker so you can decide whether a donation should be linked to a student, a parent, or no one at all. See Attribution for details.

Notes
- The amount raised does not account for processing fees. The amount represents the gross amount instead of the net amount.
- The campaign will continue to collect donations once the goal amount has been reached.
- Contact support if your campaign needs to start at an amount other than $0. For example, there are cases when donations have already been made outside of FutureFund and the Admin wants the amount raised to reflect the total donations.
