Your launch checklist
Before you send the link home, run through this list. Most of it takes a minute or two.
Your event
- ☐ The event has a description: what the money is for and what happens on the day. Families give more when they know where it goes. (Editing your event settings)
- ☐ The date, goal and location are right.
- ☐ Your logo and colors are in place. (Adding your logo and colors)
- ☐ You've chosen how student names appear. (Protecting student privacy)
Your people
- ☐ Your grade list matches your school. (Setting up your grade list)
- ☐ Classes are added. (Adding classes)
- ☐ Every student is added, in the right grade and class, with a goal. (Adding participants)
- ☐ Other staff or volunteers who are helping have been invited. (Inviting staff and volunteers)
Your money
- ☐ The Payments page says Payments are set up. (Setting up payments with Stripe)
- ☐ You've made a small test donation yourself, so you've seen exactly what families will see.
Your pages
- ☐ You've previewed the event page and a participant page. (Previewing your pages)
- ☐ You have the event's link ready to share. It's on the event's Overview, with a Copy button. (Sharing your pages)
Tip: Send families their own student's page rather than the event page. A personal page with a child's name on it gets shared with grandparents, aunts and uncles, and that's where most donations come from.
