JustGiving Campaigns: Individual Pages

Step 1 - GET STARTED

Once York SU have set your campaign up for you and your page is live, head to your main page, and click the orange 'Start Fundraising' button to begin the process of creating your own Fundraising Page.

Step 2 - SIGN-UP

You'll next be taken to a login page. It's unlikely that your group already has a JustGiving login, but if you do you can simply log-in from here. We'd ask you use your @yorksu.org email address and not a personal email address or JustGiving account.

If you've not got an account, you'll be asked to provide some more details to sign-up and create an account, using your group's details.

For example:

First Name: Test

Last Name: Society

Email: testsociety@yorksu.org

You will later be asked to complete your profile and add in an address. You can add York SU's address which is:

The Student Centre, Newton Way, Heslington, York, YO10 5DD

Step 3 - SELECT YOUR ACTIVITY

You can then select the fundraising activity you are doing. For this, we would recommend you select the option in the bottom right hand corner 'Doing your own thing'. Which gives you flexibility on what you can add to your page, You can still link Strava, Fitbit or livestreams to your page with this option, so the rest of this guide works you through what happens after you click that option.

Select 'Start' under the 'Doing your Own Thing' heading.

Step 4 - PERSONALISE YOUR PAGE

Here, you can begin to personalise your page to your group. You are also able to return to this step later or make future amendments to your page.

Page Title:

Your page title is what will appear at the top of your page. This will be auto filled with a template so feel free to amend this if you wish.

Why are you raising money?:

This will be filled with the same campaign story that appears on the main page.

You can personalise this as you wish, and you may like to include:

-Anything your group is doing as part of the fundraiser (e.g.: sponsored activity)

-Why this cause is important to your group in particular

Customise your web URL:

Here you can amend the URL of your webpage for when you're sharing this.

After you've done this, you can click 'Next: Page Cover'

STEP 5 - FINALISE YOUR PAGE

The final step before your page is live is adding in a page cover. This will be  automatically filled with the cover from your main page, but if you'd like to personalise this you can add your own photos, videos or even stream link here. 

Then click 'Next: Finalise'

At this point, your page is almost ready, you just need to opt-in or out of marketing from JustGiving, agree to the Terms of Service, Privacy Notice and the Fundraising Regulator Guidance Notes.

Once you're happy, you can click 'Launch page'.

STEP 6: REVIEWING AND UPDATING YOUR PAGE ONCE IT'S LIVE

Your group's page is now live, and you should be transported to your completed page with any amended information.

You can see what the campaign page looks like when anyone visits your page.

You can also see from the screenshots to the right, that you're able to:

• Connect Strava to the campaign for automatic updates

• Add Strava data manually

• Connect Fitbit to the campaign for automatic updates

• Connect Twitch to embed fundraising into your livestreams

• Post updates (text and photos) to your supporters to keep everyone updated on reaching your goal.

STEP 7: EDITING YOUR PAGE ONCE IT'S LIVE

If you want to edit the content on your page, you click the button under the JustGiving Logo at the top of the page 'Edit your Page'. 

On the 'Edit your Page' section, you can make amendments to any of the content, add photos and videos.

WHERE YOUR PAGE APPEARS

Your page will then be linked on the main campaign, under the 'Fundraisers' section. Anything you raise as part of your fundraising, will add to the overall campaign total.

See example to the right for 'Test Profile'.
