Leaderboards

Leaderboards provide a convenient and easy way to create a friendly competitive spirit for your participants during your event. Leaderboards are not limited to the student’s grade and teacher. Create your own custom leaderboards to track donations. For example, a booster club might want to track by sport and whether the student is in Varsity or JV.

Notes

• Pledge-A-Thon campaigns can have, at most, two leaderboards.
• During signup, each participant will self-select the appropriate leaderboard.

Participant Dashboard

The Participant Dashboard provides real-time information for the campaign including participant donations, leaderboards, share links, and more. Participants have the opportunity to invite friends and family to participate in the campaign via the dashboard.

Incentives

FutureFund’s Pledge-A-Thon offers a comprehensive incentives system designed to enhance participation and boost donations. Here’s how it works. Participants earn points for the following actions:

Points can be redeemed for rewards chosen by the fundraiser host, offering flexibility and added motivation for participants. Best of all, the tracking and management of these incentives are fully automated by FutureFund, eliminating the need for manual spreadsheets and simplifying the process for organizers.

Point ranges will vary, however, we typically see participants earn 250 - 1,000 points.

Observer Dashboard

The Observer Dashboard provides real-time information for the campaign including donation totals, leaderboards, share links, and more. This link does not require an account, i.e. it can be accessed without authenticating, and is intended to be shared with school personnel wanting a read-only view into the campaign. No student or parent information is displayed in this dashboard.

This link should not be shared with participating parents.

Cash Receipts

Track cash receipts for each participant in addition to online donations. When cash receipts are entered, they become an order and are reflected in reports, the parent dashboard, and leaderboards.

To record a cash receipt:

1. In the Admin, navigate to Store > Campaigns.
2. Click the View button, next to the campaign.
3. Click on the Participants tab.
4. Click on the Cash Receipts button.
5. Enter the amount for the cash receipt next to the appropriate student.
6. Click on the Save button.

To remove a cash receipt order:

1. In the Admin, navigate to Store > Campaigns.
2. Click the View button, next to the campaign.
3. Click on the Orders tab.
4. Click the View button, next to the order.
5. Next to the link item in the Order Information section, click on the ellipsis button.
6. Click on the Remove option.

The order will remain in the system, however, it will be zeroed out and removed from any reports.
