Inviting Organisations to Fundraise

You can proactively invite organisations and individuals to run fundraisers using your catalogues. Invited recipients receive an email with your catalogue details and a link to get started. Their fundraiser request is automatically pre-approved, so it skips the usual approval step.

Sending invitations

1. Go to your Dashboard.
2. Click Manage Requests in the navigation menu.
3. Click Invite Fundraiser.
4. Select the catalogue you want to invite organisations to fundraise with.
5. Enter the email addresses of the people you'd like to invite. You can add multiple emails at once.
6. Click Send Invitations.

Each recipient will receive an email with your catalogue details, including any brochure PDF, and a link to create their fundraiser.

What happens when someone accepts

When an invited person clicks through and creates a fundraiser:

• Their request is automatically pre-approved, so they don't need to wait for you to approve it
• The fundraiser is created using the catalogue you selected in the invitation
• You'll still be notified about the new fundraiser and can manage it as usual

Things to know

• Duplicate emails: if you enter an email address that has already been invited to the same catalogue, it will be skipped to avoid sending duplicate invitations.
• Unsubscribed contacts: recipients who have previously unsubscribed from Raised invitation emails will not receive the invitation.
• Recently invited: if someone was invited within the last 60 days, the system will skip them to prevent excessive emails.
• No account required: the recipient doesn't need an existing Raised account. They can create one as part of accepting the invitation.
• Invitation expiry: invitations expire after 60 days. Recipients will receive a reminder email before the invitation expires.

Tip: Invitations are a great way to grow your fundraiser network. Consider reaching out to schools, sports clubs, and community organisations in your area.
