Haven’t signed up as a GivePenny Fundraiser?
You can sign up with Facebook, for a nice and easy quick-click register. Alternatively, fill in the fields yourself to sign up via email. If you choose email signup, we have to check you’re a human so check your inbox and you should have an email from us – prove you’re a human by clicking the “I am human” link.
Penny Tip: Expecting an email invite but not getting one? First, check your spam folder. Still can’t find it? The most likely culprit is a misspelt email address. Give your Team Captain a prod and check the spelling of your email address for typos.
Your Fundraising Team Member powers and responsibilities
Once you’ve joined up, you’ll be listed on your Team Fundraising Page. This will display your name and profile picture. If you haven’t uploaded a profile picture yet, the default image is our logo, It’s worth doing so your friends and family know it’s you they’re supporting. Go to GivePenny.com/Profile/Update (also found under your Dashboard, then select Profile) to upload a picture.
All of your team members’ efforts will be celebrated in one place. You’ll be able to see your collective number of steps, cycling miles, streaming hours - whatever it is you're doing to raise funds! - in an update feed.
These will all be automatically added to your team's total via the apps you have connected to GivePenny. If you need help with this, we also have a guide on how to connect GivePenny to your apps.
Penny Tip: If you count your miles, steps, hours etc. with an offline method, or with a device, GivePenny can't yet connect to, dont worry! Simply message your Fundraising Team Leader and they can add your contributions to the Team Fundraising Page manually – if you’re doing regular updates connect your apps to save them and you some time!
That's it - you're officially ready to go, but you might want to read our Guide to Boosting Donations!
