And, marketing or management consultants and agencies can create campaigns for each of their clients, as many as needed.

Now, creating a campaign:

Make sure you are logged in at www.goodchange.app.
Click 'Add Campaign.'

Question 2

What does "Anonymous" mean on the donation form?

Accepted Answer

We're always looking for ways to deepen engagement between donors and their beneficiaries, and what better way than to leave a note of encouragement? We give these donors the ability to stay private on the web while still providing campaigns with all of the necessary information for reporting purposes.

"Anonymous" on the donation form means that the donor's name won't show publicly on the beneficiary's page. Here's how it looks to the donor as they are making the donation:

Private note

Here's how it looks when a donor chooses to display their name:

post_public

Here's an example of some posters who choose to stay "anonymous":

Your Type of Business

Do you have an EIN? if so, you'll likely be classified as a non-profit. If you are an LLC, pick "Company" when asked to provide your business type. If you are operating without an EIN, you will need to sign up as an "Individual" for business type.
