Setting up your campaign

When you click Start a fundraiser you are walked through a short setup wizard. Here is what each step covers.

Tracking your sales

Your organiser dashboard keeps you across how the campaign is going in real time.

🟢Live sales counter

Your dashboard shows how many squares have sold, how many are still available, and a running total of funds raised based on your price per square.

👤Buyer names on the grid

Sold squares display the buyer's first name. You can see at a glance who has purchased and which numbers they hold.

Marking payments received

For in-person and bank transfer campaigns, you can mark individual squares as paid once you have collected the money. This keeps your records tidy.

📤Sharing your live grid

Share your unique fundraiser link at any time. Buyers can check back on the grid to watch it fill up, which builds excitement and encourages others to buy in.

🏆

Running your draw

There is no minimum number of squares that need to sell before you can draw. You decide when the time is right.

1
📅Decide when to draw

You are in full control of timing. Draw when you are satisfied with sales, at a scheduled event, or on a date you announced to your community. The platform does not close your campaign automatically. Make sure you have sold enough squares to cover your prize money before drawing.

2
🔴Hit the Draw button

From your organiser dashboard, open your campaign and click Run draw. The platform will ask you to confirm before proceeding. Once the draw runs the result is final and cannot be changed.

3
🎉The winners are revealed

Winners are randomly selected from all sold squares, not the whole grid. The winning squares light up in bright green on the organiser's screen. It's perfect for a live event where you show the screen to the room, or share a photo of the result with your community.

4
📬Notifying your winners

The platform automatically notifies buyers of the draw results by email. You can also follow up directly using the contact details each winner provided at checkout to arrange prize delivery.
