Creating a Fundraiser Event
Admittee makes it simple to create fundraisers that support your organization. In just a few minutes, you can set a goal, add donation options, and share your fundraiser with families and the community.
📲 How to Create a Fundraiser
Go to the Fundraiser tab in Admittee.
In the upper right, click Create and select Fundraiser.
In the setup modal, enter:
Event Category (e.g., Athletics, Performing Arts, General)
Goal Amount (e.g., $20,000)
Select a banner Image that represents your fundraiser
Click Create Fundraiser.
✏️ Customize Your Fundraiser
Once your fundraiser is created:
Update the title if needed.
Add a description to explain your fundraiser’s purpose. You can write your own, or click Generate to let AI create a starter draft you can edit.
Add at least 3 preset donation amounts (e.g., $25, $50, $100). Donors will be able to select one of these or enter a custom amount.
💳 Choose How to Handle Processing Fees
When setting up your fundraiser, you can decide how processing fees are handled. This flexibility ensures your fundraiser runs smoothly while keeping costs transparent:
Option for donor to cover fees (default) → Donors see a checkbox at checkout to cover the fees.
Donor covers fees → Fees are automatically added to the donor’s total.
Organizer covers fees → Your organization absorbs the fee, and donors only see the donation amount.
🚀 Publish and Share
When your fundraiser looks good, click Publish.
Use the Share button to get a link, print QR posters, or embed it on your website so families can easily find and donate.
✅ That’s it — your fundraiser is now live! Donors can choose from preset amounts or enter a custom donation, and all contributions will be tracked toward your goal.
👉 Next: Learn how to Promote Your Fundraiser for maximum impact.
