Registration-based campaigns offer a flexible and engaging way for residents, community groups, and local businesses to get involved in meaningful initiatives. These campaigns are especially effective for events, or programs that encourage sign-ups and participation. Community initiative is a great fit when your initiative doesn’t fall under standard categories like Memorials, Volunteer efforts, or Sponsorships.

Settings
When creating a campaign, you must have a notification recipient, a disbursement account assigned and select if you would like a tax receipt to be created. These settings are essential for proper communication and financial processing, and must be completed before a campaign can go live.
- The notification recipient is the designated person who will automatically receive email alerts when someone participates in the campaign.
- The disbursement account tells the SeeMyLegacy Finance team where to route any collected funds.
- The generate tax receipt option will determine if a participant receives a tax receipt automatically upon purchase. If Yes is selected, the email will automatically be sent. If No is selected, the email will not send.
- Note: All contributions to cities + non profits are tax deductible if for the public benefit. Supporting article for reference.
