Every Raise donation page has share buttons for copying the link, Facebook, X and email, and the thank-you page offers the same buttons, so each donor can pass the campaign along. A Crowdfunding campaign has one link to share; on a Peer-to-Peer campaign, each player has their own.
Applies to: Admins, families and donors · TeamSideline Raise, every current plan (Core, Enhanced, Elite and Enterprise) · Crowdfunding campaign pages and players' Peer-to-Peer pages
Where: Admins: Raise > Dashboard > View Public Page (Crowdfunding), or Reports > Report Dashboards > Raise P2P > View Donation Page (Peer-to-Peer). Families: the invitation email. Everyone: the share buttons on the donation page and the thank-you page.
Get the link
- Crowdfunding: on the Raise Dashboard, click the View Public Page icon next to an active campaign, then use Copy link on the page.
- Peer-to-Peer: each player has their own link, sent in the invitation email to the primary adult on the player's account. Administrators can open any player's page from Reports > Report Dashboards > Raise P2P with the View Donation Page icon; with the Fundraiser role, click P2P Dashboard on the Raise Dashboard. Peer-to-Peer campaigns have no campaign-wide link.
Raise links are long and start with TeamSideline's web address, not your website's. Always copy them with the Copy link button or from the address bar rather than retyping them.
Share a donation page
- Open the donation page: the campaign's page for Crowdfunding, or the player's page for Peer-to-Peer.
- Find the share buttons under the caption "Share this fundraiser", below the list of recent supporters if the page shows one.
- Click Copy link and paste the link into a text, email, newsletter or post, or click Facebook, X or Email to start a post or message with the link already in it.
The share buttons
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Copy link | Copies the page's link. The button briefly changes to "Copied!" |
| Opens a Facebook post with the link | |
| X | Opens a post on X with the link and the campaign name, or a line such as "Emma is fundraising for Spring Uniforms" on a player's page |
| Opens a new email with the same words as the subject, and the link in the message |
On a donation page, the buttons appear only while the page is taking donations. On the thank-you page, they sit under "Know someone else who would want to help? Share [campaign] with them." A donor who gave on a player's page shares that player's page.
What a shared link looks like
On social media and in messaging apps, the preview shows:
- The campaign name, or a line such as "Emma is fundraising for Spring Uniforms" for a player's page.
- About the first 200 characters of your campaign description, or your subtitle if there's no description.
Previews don't include an image, so a short personal message with your post helps it stand out.
Tips
- Put the link on your website and in newsletters, team emails and social posts.
- Share at launch, midway, and a few days before the end date.
- Ask donors to use the share buttons on the thank-you page.
- To make a QR code for flyers, paste the link into any QR code generator.
If it doesn't work
- The share buttons are missing. They show only while the page is taking donations, so an ended campaign, or one with no donation amounts to choose from, has none.
- The View Public Page icon is grayed out. It works only for active Crowdfunding campaigns. For a Peer-to-Peer campaign, open a player's page from the Raise P2P dashboard.
- The link opens "This donation page is not available." The campaign isn't open yet, or a player's registration or team has changed. See Troubleshooting TeamSideline Raise.
- A family can't find their player's link. Invitations are sent once and aren't resent, so ask them to search for it and check their spam folder, or open the player's page from the Raise P2P dashboard and send them its link.
Good to know
- Anyone with the link can give from any phone or computer. Donors don't need a TeamSideline account.
- Copy link always copies the page's TeamSideline address, even if you opened the page through your organization's own domain.
