Intro to Fundraising Groups

It's unfortunate, but sometimes it takes money to do good in this world. Whether it's money to pay the travel expenses of a mission trip or the small salary of an internship, costs can become a roadblock for many individuals. But when the community can be made aware of these needs, the burden of costs can be shared. The problem then becomes promoting the need and managing the transactions that are generated. Rock's fundraising features make quick work of both problems. Think of it as a mini Kick-starter just for your organization's needs! Let's dive in and see this feature at work.

Fundraising needs are stored as a new group inside Rock. These groups are created with the group type Fundraising Opportunity. This group type provides several group and group member attributes that will drive the fundraising features within Rock.

Each group will represent a specific type of fundraising activity. Examples include:

  • A specific mission trip (e.g., Summer China Mission Trip)
  • A specific type of fundraising (e.g., Summer InternsFall Sports Season)
