Why add teams?
Adding teams is an optional feature that allows the fundraiser creator to add competitive teams to fundraise toward the NPO’s fundraiser goal. Why add teams? Let us explain… Engage Your Fans Use your most active donors to help do the asking. It’s a good way to engage people who want to support your cause and access their network of potential donors.
Extend Your Reach When you have multiple teams fundraising on your behalf you have the opportunity to reach new donors through their network of friends and family. While there’s extra time in organizing and managing teams, the extra effort should pay off.
Raise More Money Having multiple teams creates a competitive spirit amongst your fundraisers that will drive donations. Go ahead, add some teams and see what a crowd can do!
