How to Create a Campaign on weFundraise
Starting a fundraising campaign is a powerful way to support a cause you care about. If you are looking to get started on weFundraise, here is a simple guide to help you navigate the process effectively.
1. Prepare Your Account
Before you can begin, ensure your account is ready. Log into your account dashboard and navigate to "My Campaigns." If the "Create Campaign" button appears inactive, it means your profile is incomplete. You must finalize your profile settings before you can proceed to the next steps.
2. Step-by-Step Campaign Creation
Once your profile is set, click "Create Campaign" to start building your page. Follow these six essential steps:
- Step 1 (Title): Create a short, clear, and descriptive title.
- Step 2 (Category): Choose the category that best aligns with your cause.
- Step 3 (The Story): Write a compelling story of at least 200 characters. Note: You cannot edit this text once submitted, so proofread carefully!
- Step 4 (The Goal): Enter your target amount in Ugandan Shillings. Type the number without commas or currency symbols; the platform handles the formatting automatically.
- Step 5 (Visuals): Upload a high-quality, landscape-oriented image under 2MB.
- Step 6 (Submit): Finalize your campaign by clicking "Create Campaign."
3. What Happens Next?
After submission, you will receive a confirmation email. The weFundraise team will review your campaign, and once approved, you will receive another email containing your unique campaign link. You are then ready to share your mission with your friends, family, and supporters!
