Have you ever wanted to engage unique groups on your campus with some friendly competition in your fundraising campaigns, but they didn’t quite fit into your typical affinity categories? We have a solution for you!
As long as the campaign is supporting only one fund, or unrestricted gifts, we can repurpose designations on that campaign. This data can then be used to populate custom leaderboards, restrict matches, and encourage these groups to get involved.
Want to challenge student dorms to compete against each other in a giving challenge? Encourage participation from Greek organizations? Highlight most generous regional alumni groups? Let donors choose a favorite teacher to send to a dunk tank once you meet your campaign goal? Look no further than repurposed designations.
How to create repurposed designations:
1) Create all applicable ‘options’ as designations at the school level (Here’s a handy article on adding designations, if you need a quick refresher!)
2) Add the desired designations to the specific campaign donation form via campaign settings
3) Visit the campaign settings > leaderboard > enable the custom leaderboards > click manage custom leaderboard to begin creating the designation based leaderboard
