Launch a Fund Raiser
Member Wizard can help you organise a fund raiser for your organisation. You can generate a link which can be emailed or hosted on your organisation's website to allow people to donate money using whatever methods your organisation has set up eg Stripe (Credit / Debit Card) or Direct Deposit.
Donations Credit / Debit Card are automatically receipted and added into your Member Wizard database. Donations by Direct Deposit are assisted by donors being given a reference ID to include with their donation to assist you to recognise that the donation came through your Member Wizard link.
Donors if they provide an email address can be sent a Thank You message and can also request to be added to your mail out list. This will happen automatically and they will be listed with a membership type of "Donor"
To launch a Fundraiser click on Events/Fundraiser then select Add Fundraiser
Below the above screen you will see another data entry screen for you to compose your "Thank You" message. When completed click Save.
You are now ready to Test your Fundraiser so you can see what your donors will see after they click the donation link. On the Action Menu on the Fundraiser page, click the Test button and you will see the donation message screen and the screen where the donors can actually donate. Once an amount is entered in the Amount field the lower part of the screen will display whatever payment services your organisation has subscribed to Stripe (Credit / Debit Card) payments or your Bank details for direct deposit). If the donor selects to use Direct Deposit they will be given a Reference to put on their transfer.
