• Photos from previous events
• Themed photos
• Photos of items being sponsored (banner, event image, etc.)

Settings

Before your campaign can go live, you must configure three key settings: notification recipient(s), linked disbursement account, and your tax receipt preference. These ensure smooth communication, accurate fund disbursement, and proper donor follow-up.

• Notification Recipient(s) – This is the designated person who will automatically receive email alerts when someone participates in the campaign.
• Disbursement Account – This tells the SeeMyLegacy finance team where to route any collected funds.
• Generate Tax Receipt – Choose whether participants should automatically receive a tax receipt by email:
  • Select Yes to send the receipt automatically.
  • Select No if a receipt should not be sent.
• Note: Contributions to cities and nonprofits are generally tax-deductible if used for public benefit: Read More Here.
