Fundraising Tools

Log in to your Participant Dashboard using your email and password. Once in, hover over the "Donations" icon in the black menu at the top of the screen, and click "Donations Received" from the drop-down menu. Scroll down to view your list of donors.

When someone donates on your Facebook Fundraiser, their donation will count toward your fundraising goal on the Sleep Out website. Your fundraising progress and your fundraising goal (even if you change it) should always be in sync.

You can only connect a Facebook Fundraiser from your Sleep Out account. If you create a fundraiser directly on Facebook, it will not sync with your Sleep Out page. To connect a Facebook Fundraiser, login to your Sleep Out account and look for the button to "Create a Facebook Fundraiser".

Facebook Fundraisers allow us to sync plain-text only. Any images, videos, or other rich content on the "My Story" tab on your fundraising page will be stripped out when syncing the content to Facebook.

Facebook does not share donor data with outside organizations. So while the funds go directly to Covenant House, you will have to use Facebook to see your donors' names and email addresses (note that donors have the option to hide their email address).

If you don't have other contact information, you can thank your Facebook donors directly on Facebook by commenting on their donation, sending a one-to-one message through Messenger, or recognizing them publicly by mentioning them in a post. Once you've thanked your donors, you can mark each donor as "thanked" in your Participant Dashboard. 

No problem! You can make an online donation from anywhere in the world. On the donation form, use the drop-down menu to select the country for your billing address. This will trigger the form to update with the appropriate fields. Your donation will be made in U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at the time of your gift, so please double check that the amount is correct.
