# Create and Customize NPOFundraisers 

> WeGive Help Center article: Create and Customize NPOFundraisers 

Campaign fundraisers let you raise money toward a goal, organize donations under a single page, and (optionally) power peer-to-peer (P2P) fundraising where supporters create their own pages that roll up to yours.

This article walks through creating a campaign fundraiser and explains every setting on the **Create Campaign Fundraiser** screen.

## Before you start

Make sure you know:

* The display name and goal amount you want to raise.
* Which designation (fund) donations should be applied to.
* Whether this fundraiser is part of a larger structure (a parent fundraiser, or one that will have child fundraisers).
* Whether you want supporters to create their own P2P fundraisers under this one.

## Create a fundraiser

1. In the left navigation, go to **Fundraisers**.
2. Click **Create** (or **Create Campaign Fundraiser**).
3. Fill in the fields described below.
4. Save to publish your fundraiser.

## Fundraiser details

**Display name of fundraiser** (required)\
The public-facing name of your fundraiser. This appears as the page title, so make it clear and recognizable to donors.

**Description of fundraiser**\
A short description shown on the fundraiser page. Use it to explain the cause, the goal, and why someone should give.

**Goal**\
The dollar amount you're aiming to raise. This drives the progress bar and goal display on the fundraiser page. Leave it at 0.00 if you don't want to set a goal.

**Parent fundraiser**\
Search for and select an existing fundraiser to nest this one beneath. Use this when the fundraiser is part of a larger campaign and its totals should roll up to a parent.

**Child fundraisers section title**\
An optional heading for the section that lists fundraisers created under this one. If left blank, a default title is used.

**Designation**\
Search for and select the designation (fund) that donations to this fundraiser will be applied to. This determines where the money is allocated in your accounting.

## Schedule

**Start date**\
The date the fundraiser becomes active. Leave blank to make it active immediately.

**End date**\
The date the fundraiser closes. See **Allow donations after end date** below to control what happens once this date passes.

## Donation and display options

These toggles control how the fundraiser page behaves and what visitors see. The defaults shown below match the standard Create Campaign Fundraiser screen.

**Only accept donations from P2P fundraising** — *Default: No*\
When turned on, the donate button is removed from the fundraiser page, so donations can only come in through peer-to-peer fundraisers created under it. Turn this on when you want all giving to flow through your fundraisers rather than the main page.

**Show leader board** — *Default: Yes*\
Lists the leading donors from this fundraiser and any child fundraisers. Turn off to hide the leaderboard.

**Show activity** — *Default: Yes*\
Lists all donations made to this fundraiser and any child fundraisers, creating a live activity feed. Turn off to hide it.

**Show child fundraisers** — *Default: Yes*\
Lists and links to the child fundraisers that supporters create under this one. Turn off if you don't want those pages surfaced.

**Show parent fundraiser** — *Default: Yes*\
Displays a link back to the parent fundraiser. Turn off to hide the link.

**Hide fundraise button** — *Default: No*\
When turned on, hides the button visitors use to create their own P2P fundraisers. Turn this on if you don't want supporters launching new fundraisers under this one.

**Allow donations after end date** — *Default: No*\
When turned on, participants can keep donating even after the fundraiser's end date has passed. Leave off to stop accepting donations once the fundraiser closes.

## Tips for setting up P2P fundraising

If you want supporters to fundraise on your behalf:

* Leave **Hide fundraise button** off so supporters can create their own pages.
* Keep **Show child fundraisers** on so those pages are visible and linked.
* Consider turning on **Only accept donations from P2P fundraising** if you want every gift attributed to a supporter's page rather than the main fundraiser.

## Editing a fundraiser

You can update any of these settings after creating the fundraiser. Open the fundraiser from the **Fundraisers** list, adjust the fields, and save. Changes apply to the live page immediately.
