Running more than one event

Each fundraiser is its own event, with its own goal, plan, classes, participants and results. Run a new event every year (or every season), and the old ones stay in your history.

Creating another event

1. On the Dashboard or the Events page, choose New Event (Admins only).
2. Fill in the same details as your first event, including What the money is for, and choose a plan.
3. Tick the box confirming the money will be used only for that purpose.
4. Tick Make this the organization's main event if this is the event your organization's link should open now.
5. Choose Create Event.

Like your first event, a new event is reviewed before it can take online donations. Once it's approved, its purpose can't be changed in Settings; contact us if it needs to.

Then add its classes and participants. On Plus and Premium you can bring them across in one go: see Copying participants from another event.

After an event ends

Once an event's date has passed, and it raised money, an Admin is asked to confirm how the funds were used: open the event's Overview and choose Confirm use of funds. Say what the money paid for and tick the box confirming it was used only as described to donors. We keep this as a record, as our payment processor requires, and your organization can't start a new event until it's done.

Upcoming and previous events

The Dashboard shows Upcoming Events (those still to come, and any without a date) and Previous Events (those whose last day has passed). Past events keep their donations, reports and results, and their pages stay online.

Your students across events

Students are kept from one event to the next, so a student's history stays together. Each event records the grade and class the student was in at the time, so last year's report still shows last year's classes.

Deleting an event

At the bottom of an event's Settings, Delete this event removes the event, its classes and pages, and any students who aren't in another event. It can't be undone.
