Fundraisers

Starting A Campaign

• Choose Create at the top of the page, then Start A Fundraiser.
• Under Campaign Basics, add a title and subtitle, a Funding Goal, a currency and a Campaign End Date.
• Pick a Funding Model. Flexible lets you keep everything raised, whether or not you reach the goal. Fixed (all-or-nothing) refunds every backer in full if you miss the goal by the end date.
• Add a Cover Image (you can pick one from My Studio), an optional video link and your campaign story.
• Choose Save Campaign to keep it as a draft, then Launch Campaign when you’re ready.

You need to complete verification on your profile before you can launch a campaign that takes real pledges. Once someone backs your campaign, its currency and funding model are locked.

Managing Your Campaign

Open My Campaigns to see how each campaign is doing. Use Edit to change it, View to see it as backers do, and Analytics for pledge totals, reward-tier performance and funding pace. Fulfillment lists backers who chose a physical reward, with their shipping address, so you can add tracking numbers and mark rewards shipped. On a live campaign, Share gives you a link that tracks what it brings in.

Backing A Campaign

• Open Discover to browse live campaigns. You need to be signed in.
• Open a campaign to read its Story, updates, stretch goals and comments, and to see how much it has raised, how many backers it has and how many days are left.
• Choose Back This Project. Pick a reward tier, or choose Back Without a Reward and enter your own amount under Your Pledge.
• Add any extras and, if your reward ships, your shipping details. Then choose Complete Pledge to pay by card.

Your card is charged when you pledge. If an all-or-nothing campaign misses its goal, every backer is refunded in full after the end date. On a flexible campaign, the artist keeps what is raised. Once a campaign reaches its goal, it shows as fully funded and stops taking new pledges. For what Yeja charges, see Pricing.
