Create Your First Campaign

Learn how to create your first campaign step by step.

Before You Start

To create your first campaign, here is what you need:

  1. Create an account — Sign up for free with your email or social account and verify your email address
  2. Choose who you are raising for — You can start a campaign for yourself, someone else, an organization, or your venture
  3. Prepare your story and visuals — Identity and payout account verification are not required when opening a campaign; they are requested before the first payout of funds raised

Campaign Wizard

Donation Center's campaign wizard guides you through 4 easy steps.

Step 1: Basic Information

Set up the framework for your campaign:

  • Title: Should be short, compelling, and clear (max 80 characters)
  • Short Description: Summarize your campaign in one sentence (max 160 characters)
  • Category: Education, health, environment, animals, emergency aid, etc.
  • Location: Your campaign's target region

Step 2: Detailed Description

A good campaign description should include:

  • Your Story: Why are you starting this campaign?
  • Purpose: What will the collected funds be used for?
  • Impact: How will the donors' contributions make a difference?
  • Transparency: A budget plan showing fund distribution

Tip: An emotional, authentic story makes it easier for donors to connect with your campaign.

Step 3: Media

Visual content directly impacts your campaign's success:

  • Cover Image: 1200x630px, high quality
  • Gallery: We recommend adding at least 3-5 additional images
  • Video: We strongly recommend adding a 2-3 minute introductory video

Step 4: Goal, Duration, and Payout Rule

  • Goal Amount and Currency: Set a realistic goal aligned with your budget
  • Duration: Campaigns of around 30–60 days make it easier to keep momentum
  • Payout Rule: Choose whether the funds raised are released when the campaign ends regardless of the goal, or only if the goal is reached ("all or nothing")
  • Thank-You Perks / Packages (optional): Define thank-you perks or reward packages for supporters above certain amounts

Campaign Review Process

After your campaign is submitted:

  1. Our team reviews it

Tips for a Successful Campaign

  2. Share regular updates — At least 1 update per week
  3. Use social media — Post on every platform
  4. Thank your supporters — We recommend sending personal messages
  5. Be transparent — Share how funds are being used
