How do I create a Campaign?

1 min read

To create a campaign, follow these steps:

  1. Log in or create your profile.
  2. Click on the “Start Campaign” button located in the header bar. If it’s your first campaign, you can also access it through Profile > My Campaigns.
  3. On this page, you’ll have the option to initiate different types of campaigns: Self-managed, Bluetick, or Organisation crowdfunding campaigns. Each type has distinct features:
    • Self-managed: All funds raised are directly paid out to your supplied bank account.
    • Bluetick: The blue tick icon signifies that all raised funds will be directly disbursed to relevant beneficiary organisations or professionals (where applicable).
    • Organisation: All raised funds are directly paid out to the linked organisation.
  4. Provide comprehensive details about your campaign, including text information, images/videos, and links to your social media profiles.
  5. You can either “Save & Preview” your campaign before it goes live or “Launch” it immediately.
Please note: Funds can only be requested once verification details have been submitted and the first donation has been received.

Check out our video tutorial [insert link to video] for a visual walkthrough of these steps.

Congratulations! Your campaign is now live and ready to make an impact.
