Creating a Fundraiser Event

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

  1. Go to the Fundraiser tab in Admittee.

  2. In the upper right, click Create and select Fundraiser.

  3. 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

  4. 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.
