You are welcome to create a Fundraising Campaign for the 2024 season anytime, but officially the season will not begin until August 26th. The season will run until December 15th and you are welcome to promote your fundraiser until then, or end on an earlier date of your choosing.
Setting up a fundraising campaign is quick and easy! For best results campaigns should be submitted at least 7 days before your fundraiser start date. We will respond to your submission within 3 business days. Fundraising Campaigns will not be approved until after fundraising season begins.
Here is what you will need to create a campaign:
- Campaign name
- What type of organization you are
- Organization/Beneficiary Information (where profits should be sent)
The campaign creation process is entirely online, but do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions or need any assistance.
- Go to the Lynch Creek Fundraising website, www.lynchcreekfundraising.com, and click on "Get started - it's free!"
- You will need to sign up for a free account to create your fundraiser. If you have run a fundraiser with us before or participated as a team member, you should already have an account created and can click Log in if you are not already logged in.
- Once your account is created you will be prompted to Create Your Fundraiser by giving it a name and selecting a category.
- You will then click "Create Campaign". Next is a page to enter the Beneficiary information for end of season profit dispersal, which should be the name and address of an organization, NOT an individual. Until this information is submitted to and approved by the LCF Fundraising Team, your campaign will not be active and your supporters will be unable to shop or donate. This process can take up to 3 business days, once fundraising season has begun.
- You should now be looking at your unique campaign page, which is almost ready to go!
While waiting for campaign approval we suggest that you finish setup of your campaign by clicking the gray Edit button on your campaign home page to add the following details:
- Suggested - Story or description about your fundraiser/cause (300-500 characters)
- Suggested - Photo to upload (logo, group photo, animals, evergreen products, etc.)
- Suggested - Set your team fundraising goal (default is $0)
- IF needed - Change your Category
- IF desired - Adjust your campaign end date to before 12/15/24
This is also the best time to invite Teammates so that once your campaign is approved everyone can begin sharing with supporters right away! Teammates are members of your group that you would like to track the individual earnings of. To invite teammates, click the gray COPY button next to the invite link on your campaign and then send via email, text, etc.
