# How do I withdraw the donations my campaign has raised? (Directly to Me/Self-managed)

Once your [campaign has been verified](https://news.backabuddy.co.za/support/vetting/how-does-backabuddy-verify-my-campaign/), follow these steps to withdraw funds:

1. Go to your campaign management page (Profile > My Campaigns > Down arrow > Manage Campaign).
    *Once verified, the Payout Request button in the top left will become active.*
2. Click on the active Payout Request button.
    *Note that if you have any pending payouts in your Withdrawals tab (found in the left-hand tabs), the Payout Request button will be disabled until the initial payout is processed.*
3. Select the campaign from which you want to withdraw funds and choose your desired total (either a custom amount or the maximum available).
4. Verify that your banking details are accurate. If you recently updated them, your campaign will need to go through verification again before requesting a payout.
5. Optionally, add a Payout Description and any notes to the Payout Details section. You may also include a tip for BackaBuddy, which is much appreciated!
6. Click “Save & Submit” to submit your Payout Request.
    ***Please be aware that payouts may take up to 8 working days.***
7. Navigate to the Withdrawals tab to view your Payout Request details and current status.
