Setting Fundraising Goals
Trip Fundraising Goal
The Trip Fundraising Goal is the total amount your team needs to raise for the entire trip. This is typically set by the trip leader and represents the sum of all costs: flights, accommodation, meals, activities, insurance, and other expenses.
To set or edit the trip goal:
- Go to your trip's Fundraising tab
- Click "Edit Goal" on the Trip Fundraising Goal card
- Enter the total dollar amount
- Click Save
Individual Participant Goals
Each team member can have their own fundraising goal. This is the amount they need to raise individually to cover their share of the trip cost.
Apply Goal to All
Use the "Apply Goal to All" button to quickly set the same individual goal for every active fundraiser on the team. This divides the trip cost evenly.
Important: "Apply Goal to All" only affects participants who are actively fundraising. It skips:
- Self-funded participants (paying their own way)
- Exempt participants (no cost)
- Team Covered participants (org pays)
- Support staff who are not traveling
The 3% Processing Fee
When donors give online through Stripe, a processing fee of approximately 3% is applied. You may want to factor this into your fundraising goals. For example, if a participant needs $3,000, consider setting their goal to $3,100 to account for processing fees.
The fee tip suggestion appears on donation pages to encourage donors to cover the fee themselves.
