Make your progress easy to understand
Use the same goal and total in your progress graphic, fundraiser page and organizer report. Include a date when sharing an update so supporters know when the amount was recorded.
Choose a goal you can explain
Connect the amount to a specific purpose: equipment, an event, travel or another organization-approved need. Separate gross money raised from the amount available after costs. If your goal is net proceeds, label it clearly in the description you share.
Share a useful update
Alongside the graphic, explain what the fundraiser supports, what has changed since the previous update and the next way people can help. That might be giving money, contributing an item or covering a volunteer shift.
The totals in this free generator are entered by you. They are not connected to a payment processor or independently verified. The graphic fills to the goal and still displays the amount entered when a campaign exceeds its goal.
