How to Edit a Fundraising Page

After you create a fundraising page, you can edit its details and personalize the content. Learn how to edit your personal fundraising page.

In this guide:

Open your editor

Visit your fundraising page and tap on the Manage button. It will be at the top-right of the screen on a desktop or laptop and at the bottom-right of the banner image for mobile devices.

Tip: Once you open your editor, this button will be replaced with a View button. After you make your edits, hit this button to return to your fundraising page and see your changes.

Overview

The first thing you see when you open the editor is the Overview tab. From here, you can view some cards with suggested next steps and access other content tabs. There are 2 content tabs that control the appearance and details of your fundraising page: the Story tab and the Details tab.

If this is your first time viewing the editor, we recommend completing the cards. They will help you edit your Story, make the first donation to your page, and ask for donations from friends and family. If you’ve already completed the cards, use the other sections in this guide to edit your page.

Tip: If you’ve completed the cards, you can reset them if you ever need a refresher. The first donation card is the only one that disappears since you can’t make the first donation twice.

Edit your Story

Your Story is the main content that appears on your fundraising page. To edit the content, tap on the Story tab and make your changes in the text block. Hit Save when you’re finished to save your edits.

If you’re using a desktop or laptop, you can add photos, videos, and links with the tools at the bottom of the text block. Need some inspiration? Share why the cause is important to you and how it has a beneficial impact.

Post updates

Use updates to keep friends and family engaged with your fundraising progress. You can share a picture about your goal, share something about the nonprofit you’re proud of, or do something for donations (ex. push-ups, running a mile).

To post updates, open the Story tab and select Updates. From here you can use the Create New button to post a new update or click the three dots on an existing post to edit it.

Edit your details

The Details tab is where you can edit the key details of your fundraising page such as your profile picture. Simply make the edits you need and hit the Save Changes button when you’re finished. We explain what you can change below:

Profile Picture

Use the Upload button to change your profile picture. You can also use the Remove button to remove your picture and use the default picture that the nonprofit chose.

Goal

Set the amount you plan on raising ($8,000 or above). If you reach your goal early, we recommend increasing your goal for an even greater challenge and impact.

Vanity URL

This is simply a shorter version of your fundraising page’s website address. Short URLs are easier to share and look nicer on social media.

Fundraising Notifications

Fundraising notifications are sent to the email you used when creating your Classy account. The notifications are designed to keep you up-to-date on your fundraising activity. Toggle them on or off to control your preferences and hit Save Changes.

Comments on my fundraising page

You’ll receive this notification when someone comments on your fundraising page. This ensures you’ll know when to comment back to keep your donors engaged.

Donations on my fundraising page

When someone donates to your fundraising page, you’ll receive this notification. This ensures you can thank donors for their gifts.

Encouragement emails

When you reach a certain percentage of your goal or a specific amount, you’ll receive an encouragement email.

FAQ

I’m done editing my page. What are the next steps?
We recommend making the first donation to your fundraising page if you haven’t already. NEADS will match this 1st donation up to $100! Making the first donation demonstrates you’re invested and encourages others to join you. After that, we recommend emailing or texting your fundraising page to family and friends as well as sharing on social media.

Note: Classy builds the fundraising software for NEADS. You may see their name from time to time. If you have questions or issues with your fundraising page please contact NEADS first, and we can contact Classy is that becomes necessary.
