KIMBIA: GIVING POWER

Configuring a time-based, goal-based, participatory fundraiser in Kimbia is a snap.

Part 3 of this simple guide explains how to:

1. Define a specific, public financial goal and goal date for your campaign
2. Enable your donors to also advocate and raise money for your campaign
3. Publicly display campaign progress and the progress of individual advocates
4. Track the performance of advocate supporters
5. Link a registration form to a donation form so that a new registrant is automatically signed up to raise money
6. Review a demonstration site that can be used as a model for your campaign

Using a registration form to sign up new advocate fundraisers

Kimbia registration forms can easily be linked to an individual donation form within your campaign.

Anyone registering using a linked registration form is automatically registered as a new advocate for the designated fundraiser.

Some common examples:

• Your organization hosts an annual gala, golf tournament or 5K fun run. If you link the event registration form to the fundraiser, each new registrant will receive the fundraising tools described herein.
• You organization wishes to recruit advocates to drive a campaign. In this case, you might create a simple registration form - it can include as little as just an email address. Each person signing up with automatically receive fundraising tools.

After you’ve setup your registration form, linking the form to a fundraiser is easy. Edit the Form Setting for your registration form and select the donation form that the registration form will distribute.

In this example, the registrant is simply providing contact information to sign up as an advocate. They will only see payment screens if they chose to make an optional donation, otherwise, they’ll receive a registration confirmation and their advocacy tools in their inbox.
