Everything starts somewhere.
Your supporters are your best advocates – empower them to become fundraising partners that help you increase awareness, find new donors, and raise more funds.
Simple, purpose-built tools give your advocates the ability to build their campaign, make edits, thank supporters, chat with the organization, and keep track of their progress.
Note: In the P2P fundraising context, "fundraiser" refers to the person raising the funds rather than the overall fundraising effort, which is called the "program".

Page 4: Program Participants
The Program Participants page allows you to customize the appearance of individual fundraisers' pages.

To add a default custom header/greeter image, you can use the Fundraiser Poster Media section to upload an image or video from your computer, and the Fundraiser Profile Image to upload a default profile image.

Page 6: Sponsors
Creating sponsorship tiers can incentivize sponsors to give in greater amounts. In the pictured example, we have defined two tiers: Bronze and Silver.
To have a sponsor's logo displayed on the web page, select the downward-facing arrow at the right side of the tier to expand the entry. Then, enter the sponsor's name and website, and upload their logo using the interface pictured here.
The monetary amounts that mark the different tiers are set by the organization conducting the program, and these amounts do not exist as a data field in iDonate P2P.
