How to create a Fundraiser:

Step 1: Choose an organization to support

Find your favorite nonprofit using the website's search function. From the nonprofit's page, click the "Create a Fundraiser" button.


If you cannot find your favorite nonprofit, they have not registered to participate in ETGD. Check back at a later date or contact the nonprofit to confirm participation.

Step 2: Submit & Create your Fundraiser Login

Don't have a Fundraiser profile? Click "Sign Up" and create your account. Once your account is set, your Fundraiser is automatically published.

Step 3: Personalize your Fundraiser

Use the editing tool on the left side to adjust your Fundraiser Title, Goal, and Logo. Tell us your Fundraiser story!

Step 4: Share your Fundraiser to help your cause!

Fundraisers are only successful when they're shared! Copy your Fundraiser's unique URL to share with family, friends, and other contacts in email and posts to social media.
