    Set a fundraising goal

    Overview

    Set a realistic campaign goal and explain what supporter contributions will help achieve.

    Where to find it

    Open Nonprofit workspace > Fundraising. Public donors should use the fundraiser, organization donation page or event donation option shared by the organization.

    How it works

    1. Open the campaign create or edit page.
    2. Set the Fundraising Goal to the amount the campaign is genuinely intended to raise.
    3. Confirm the displayed currency; supported currency can depend on the organization country and payment configuration.
    4. Explain the intended use of funds in the description and add meaningful impact metrics rather than implying a guaranteed outcome.

    Important details

    Fundraising and payouts become usable only after the organization payment requirements shown in the workspace are satisfied. Use truthful goals and descriptions. A donation is complete only after checkout confirmation; if the result is uncertain, check the receipt or activity before retrying.

    If something does not look right

    1. Confirm the signed-in profile and current workspace shown in the page header.
    2. Capture the page address, time and exact visible error.
    3. Do not include passwords, API keys, bank details or full card data.
    4. Ask GoodAction Support when the expected control remains unavailable or the saved result differs from this article.
