Company Admin > Campaigns

There are two ways to create a campaign on our platform:

  • Creating a campaign from a charity template (as shown below)

  • Creating a campaign without a template.

Many of our charity partners will have annual fundraising days and campaigns throughout the year.

We have therefore provided Charities with the ability to create charity templates for our companies on our platform.

What is a charity template?

Charities can create a range of templates in campaigns and set opportunities available on Catalyser for corporates to easily use and help you align to their branding where required.

Charities will have pre-filled the different types of campaigns and opportunities available with recommended images and copy. This can include the charity’s messaging, targets, dates, donation handle, impact statements ready for you to use!

Email message

We have a set of templates available in each module that send auto-generated email confirmations when an employee donates.

This field allows you to further tailor and customise your message to the individual campaign.

Make sure you have included the injectable variable {{campaigninsert}} in the appropriate email template. For more information on Email Templates.

Tip: A really versatile way to add value and further customise your email confirmation is to include charity or campaign info via a hyperlink here. For example, charity website, file and photos in your Sharepoint or intranet.


Add Donation Tiers 

Select the currency of your donation tier.

Each donation tier you set up will have a currency option. Only employees in that location will see that currency on campaign page when it goes live.

For example, if you select New Zealand dollars (NZ$), your employees in New Zealand will see that donation tier in NZD. 

Add the donation amount. Round numbers are recommended. The donation amount entered is default set to the monthly pay cycle. Our platform will automatically adjust to any other pay cycles applicable to your company.

The short description is the impact statement that will be visible to the dollar amount you have set.

Selecting an employee type and the payroll cycle will enable you to further drive donation goals to specific groups. For example, Partners may be given specific targets with different amounts. 

Click to Save donation tier. Repeat until you have completed all the required tiers.


Below is an example of donation tiers created.

(Left side is the Edit Mode and right side is Preview Mode)

You can remove and edit this donation tier later. 

The preview mode is on your right.

 

Why use donations tiers (or dollar handles)?

Donations tiers help your employees and supporters understand the impact of their donations.

When using the charity template, charities will have preloaded the descriptions for each amount, which you can edit too.

Using specific currencies, will allow you to create a donation tier that will only be visible to the employees donating in that currency.
