Creating a Campaign
In this section, we will walk through using Blackbaud Volunteer Network Fundraising to Create a Campaign in the Platform. If you are just getting started with the tool, you can utilize this document to create a test campaign. The test campaign can be deleted once it has been created, so setting up a sample campaign will help you get comfortable with this workflow.
Creating a New Campaign
-
Navigate to the Volunteer Network Fundraising layer of the Platform (learn how to grant access to the Layer)
-
Click on the icon in the drawer and click on Add Campaign. As time goes on, this menu tray in the drawer will include any current and previous campaigns for you to view as well.
-
Click on +Create new to launch the Campaign Creation Wizard. Once you have additional campaigns created, you will also have the option to copy an existing campaign.
Type of Campaign
Campaigns can be one of two types: Giving Only or Giving + Event.
-
With a Giving Only campaign, your agents will only be responsible for reporting whether their prospects plan to donate or not.
-
With a Giving + Event campaign, your agents will report both whether their prospects intend to give and if they plan to attend a specific event.
Currently, this system does not support event only campaigns.
Once selected, the type of campaign cannot be changed.
