How does individual and team fundraising work?

add remove

When you register for the event, an individual fundraising page is automatically created for you. If you create or join a team, all individual pages within that team are linked, so any donation made to an individual page also counts towards the team’s total.

When a team is formed, a separate team fundraising page is also created. Donors can choose to donate either to an individual page or directly to the team page, depending on which link you share.

Are there any platform fees for a fundraiser?

add remove
Each of your sponsors who donate to your page has the option to contribute towards platform costs, which help keep our site secure and provide the best online experience for all our supporters. You can find more information about platform fees here.
