How does a P2P participant create and edit their fundraising page?
The participant creates and edits their fundraising page through the Constituent Portal. If the participant does not have a portal account yet, when they sign up for the P2P campaign, they will create their portal account first. When you share the URL or QR code to your P2P campaign, the fundraiser will be directed to a portal login.
The link will include the name of your campaign, the date of the event (if applicable), the name of the organization and the location included in the P2P Campaign Settings tab.
Constituents with existing portal accounts can enter their email and password and click Sign Into go directly to their existing portal account and begin setting up their fundraising page.
Constituents who do not have a portal account yet, will clickSign Up to enter their name, email, and a password to create a new account. The software will link to existing accounts if it finds a matching email and name.
