# How To: Build Smart Fundraising Forms

### Step 1: Go to Your Dashboard

1. Log in to your GoodChange account.
2. Click **“Fundraisers”** in the left-hand menu.
3. Select **“Create New Fundraiser”** (or “Edit” if you’re updating an existing one).

### Step 2: Fill In the Essentials
#### **Fundraiser Title**
* Keep it short and action-oriented.
* Example: *“Join Team Alexis — Founding Donors Wanted!”*

### **Fundraiser Description**
* Briefly explain what the fundraiser is for.
* Share how the funds will be used, and add urgency if possible.
* Mention any giving levels or key campaign moments.

### Step 3: Add Your Cover Image
* Recommended size: **1920 x 1080 pixels**
* Leave space around the edges—avoid placing text or faces too close to the borders.

### Step 4: Use Marketing Links
* Navigate to the **“Marketing Links”** tab in your dashboard.
* Create a custom tracking link for each audience or outreach method (email, text, social media, etc.).
* This helps you measure what’s working and adjust as you go.

### Step 5: Set Legal & Compliance Settings
Make sure your Compliance & Legal Settings are up to date. If you haven't done this yet - go here: 
[Adding Compliance/Finance Rules](https://goodchange.crisp.help/en/article/adding-compliancefinance-rules-l68dbs/)

* **Disclaimers**: Toggle ON or paste your custom disclaimer in the box provided.
* **Contribution Rules**: Make sure the standard rules are visible—these are required by law.
* **Contribution Limits**: Enter the correct legal limit (include both primary and general if needed).

### Bonus Tips for a Winning Fundraiser Page
* **Keep your copy donor-focused** – use “you” language to emphasize their impact.
* **Make your goal public when appropriate** if your goal is time-sensitive or dollar-based—it boosts conversions.
* **Include testimonials or campaign quotes** if you have them.
* **Preview your form** before publishing—double-check mobile view too.

### You’re Ready to Launch
Once everything looks good, click **“Publish”**. Your form will go live immediately, and you can start sharing your marketing links.
