When you create a fundraising page to support your favorite cause, you're going the extra mile to make a difference in your community.

Personal Fundraising Page
The most common option, a personal fundraising page is a simple solution for individuals who wish to fundraise to benefit one nonprofit that they champion strongly.
Team Fundraising Page
A fun choice for groups who like to inspire friendly competition between fundraising pages with a leaderboard that tallies progress toward shared and individual goals.
Group Fundraising Page
For groups that would like to encourage their broad audiences to donate and tally progress toward a shared goal, without the competitive element of a Team Fundraising Page.
How to Be a Fundraiser
Customize your fundraising page by clicking the icons next to each editable segment and in the in the dashboard on the left-hand side of your screen. While there are many ways to customize your fundraising page, only a few fields are required:
- Title: A few words that make clear what your fundraiser is all about.
- Image/Video: The “face” of your fundraiser. Use a clear image from your computer or mobile device, or import from Facebook.
- Description: Share why you care about the organization you're supporting and why people should donate to your campaign.
- Duration: This tool tells donors how long they have to donate until the campaign ends. This is simply a visual tool; once your fundraiser hits its end date, your campaign will continue. Keep in mind that only donations made on GLY365.org will not count toward your nonprofit's Give Local York total.
The following elements are not required to publish your fundraising page, but can help increase your fundraising page's success:
- Funding Goal: Add a goal to your page and inspire your networks to give to help you achieve it!
- Short Story: When you share your fundraiser on social media, this summary will display.
- Updates: Updates are a great way to share news about your campaign, thank your donors for helping you hit a milestone, and keep the people who’ve already supported you engaged in your campaign.
