Descriptions

About Campaign

Share the purpose of the Campaign, why community members should participate, and other key campaign details. This section should excite and entice community members to dedicate an item.

How to Participate

Provide a clear, step-by-step guide outlining how community members can dedicate an item, ensuring the instructions are simple, actionable, and easy to follow.

Guidelines

Share how residents can participate and outline program guidelines like installation, timeframe, and maintenance.

 

Uploads

Add high-quality photos to the Campaign and the Items of the Campaign. Below are a few options for the types of photos to include:

  • Physical dedication item community member will be dedicating (sample bench, tree, brick, banner, etc.)
  • Parks the items will be displayed at
  • Past donation items (current dedicated bench, tree, brick, banner, etc.)

 

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.
