Finalizing your Athon fundraiser is a key step to accomplishing your fundraiser’s goals. This step allows us to calculate the final amount to charge your donors for their pledges based on the activity that was completed in the fundraiser.
We’ll show you how to finalize your fundraiser in the steps below.
Before you finalize a Campaign
Before finalizing your Athon Campaign, take a few moments to go through the following steps.
- First, check that all off-line (write-in) donations have been edited to credit the desired participant(s). You may need to edit some donations to ensure the appropriate individuals get credited. Click here to learn how to credit off-line donations.
- Second, if check donations were accepted on the Campaign, they will need to be marked as received in order to be included in the final total raised. Click here to learn how to mark checks as received. You can mark check donations as received after the Campaign ends, but we recommend you review them as they are received.
- Finally, you’ll need to enter all activity results. Click here to learn how to enter activity results.
How to finalize a Campaign
Once the end date for your DoJiggy-Athon fundraiser is reached, a new FINALIZE button will appear on the enter activity results page. You won’t be able to finalize your fundraiser until your end date is reached. Simply go to the enter activity results page and click the Finalize A-thon button.
- Go to Campaigns in the left menu.
- If you have chosen list view, click on the Title of your Campaign. If you have chosen grid view, click on the Campaign image.
- Click Enter Activity Results
- Click the Finalize A-thon button.
Please note that once you finalize results, no additional activity results can be entered into your Campaign. Donors’ credit cards will be charged when you finalize results and the total amount raised will be updated as well. Your Athon fundraiser will be completed once you finalize it.
NOTE: If you receive a message about pledges being made and no activity logged, please reach out to our support team for a special report.
