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
- Open the campaign create or edit page.
- Set the Fundraising Goal to the amount the campaign is genuinely intended to raise.
- Confirm the displayed currency; supported currency can depend on the organization country and payment configuration.
- 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
- Confirm the signed-in profile and current workspace shown in the page header.
- Capture the page address, time and exact visible error.
- Do not include passwords, API keys, bank details or full card data.
- Ask GoodAction Support when the expected control remains unavailable or the saved result differs from this article.
