Peer Round Up: Setting Up a Fundraising Threshold

Organizations often allow attendees to fundraise for their ticket cost. This means that the attendee must raise an amount that is equal to or greater than the cost of their ticket. For attendees that do not meet this fundraising threshold, Event.Gives offers a "Peer Round Up" feature.

This feature bulk adds the difference of these two amounts (amount fundraised - ticket amount = amount added to cart) to the attendees' carts for those that did not meet the fundraising threshold. Follow the steps below to learn how to utilize the "Peer Round Up" feature for your next event. 

Utilizing The Peer Round Up Feature

1. Navigate to the 'Donations' tab. 

2. Next, locate and click the blue "Round Up Donations" button.  

3. After doing so, you will be provided a field to enter in your threshold amount (ticket cost), shown below.

4. For this example, the ticket cost for this event is $75. Since peers are fundraising for their ticket cost, we will enter "75" into the field provided. Click "Submit."

5. Once you have clicked "Submit," the difference (amount fundraised - ticket amount = amount added to cart) will be added to the peer page owner's cart.

The success message after clicking "Submit" will tell you how many peer page owners had the "Peer Round Up" amount added to their cart.

6. After completing the steps above, you will see these "Peer Round Up" donations added below on the 'Donations' tab. The "Purpose" for each of these donation(s) will be labeled "Peer Round Up" in order to differentiate from a general donation or pledge.
