Invite Teammates

After creating a team you can invite team members.  From the team dashboard click on edit from the team list.


STEP 1 - Click on Member Management in the navigation tab.



Step 2 - Create a unique invite URL to Invite new members


  • This invitation URL can be shared with any potential team member to join your team. It will prompt them to log-in or create an account (if they do not have one) and add them to your team.
  • The invitation URL can be revoked. Once revoked, the URL cannot be used. You can create another invite if needed, each link is unique. 
  • Once your team is complete, revoke any active URL to avoid "new" unexpected members (if private).


Step 3 - Make the dream work, with teamwork!

You can now manage your team for fundraising success!


Here are some ways to get things started!


 If live-streaming, encourage the use of the Team Overlay to track and display the performance of everyone's fundraising!


 Determine the length of the campaign! Is it a weekend of fundraising or are you fundraising throughout the year! Having a certain day is a powerful way to create a sense of urgency. 


 Gather your contact lists and send emails, make social media posts in order to let people know about what you’re doing. 

 Connect with the charity you are supporting to see if they have assets to show why you are looking for support. 

 Inquire at your school, place of worship, place of work, or community center to see if they are interested in joining your team. 

 Check to see if your employer provides matching gifts for donations made. 


 Donate to yourself to get things started and encourage your teammates to do the same! Get that donation train moving! 

 Set-up awards and shout-outs for teammates that hit goals. 

 Touch base regularly with your team with any updates or encouraging messages about the impact they have on the cause! 

 Celebrate post-campaign and give your team members a recap of their fundraising performance!
