Everything you need to know
Setting up your campaign
When you click Start a fundraiser you are walked through a short setup wizard. Here is what each step covers.
Choose 25, 50, or 100 squares and set your price per square. The platform shows you a live estimate of how much you could raise at sell-out.
Choose how many prizes you want to offer. Add prize details, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and any extras. Give each a description, an estimated value, and tick "donated" if a local business has sponsored it.
Write a title, choose an emoji, and describe what the funds are going towards. This appears on the public page your buyers will see.
Choose how you want to collect money: in person, bank transfer, both, or secure online card payments. You can offer more than one option.
Review everything before it goes live. When you are happy, click Launch. Your unique share link is ready to send to your community.
Reading the grid
Every square on your live grid is colour coded so you and your buyers can see exactly what is happening at a glance.
Tracking your sales
Your organiser dashboard keeps you across how the campaign is going in real time.
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.
Sold squares display the buyer's first name. You can see at a glance who has purchased and which numbers they hold.
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.
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.
For card payment campaigns, the platform handles everything automatically. Squares are marked as paid the moment payment is received, receipts are sent to buyers, and winners are notified after the draw. No manual follow-up needed.
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.
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. Most campaigns are drawn once all squares are sold.
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.
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.
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.
