Goal

What is the Goal I see on “My Donations”?

That is the amount of money you are working toward raising.  Also shown is your progress toward reaching that goal.  This is your personal goal.  If you are a member of a team your team will also have a goal displayed on the “My Team” tab.  Please note that not all campaigns support personal goals.

How is my Goal determined?

Based on our experience with prior participants a default fundraising goal is established for each event and that goal is temporarily assigned to each participant until they set their own goal.  For Team In Training the default goal is equal to your commitment (or fundraising minimum) determined at registration.  Please note that not all campaigns support personal goals.

Can I change my Goal?

Yes, you can change your goal by clicking on “Edit Goal”.  Enter the new goal amount and click Save.  Your goal amount cannot be lower than the amount that you have already raised.  Please note that not all campaigns support personal goals.

Is my Goal the same as my Minimum or Commitment?

The terms “Commitment” and “Fundraising Minimum” apply only to Team In Training.  Your Goal and your Commitment can be the same or your Goal can be higher than your Commitment.  Your Commitment was determined when you registered.  Your Goal can not be lower than your Commitment, but it can be higher.  Please note that not all campaigns support personal goals.

I want to display my Personal Goal instead of my Fundraising Minimum on my page, how do I change that?

Click “Fundraiser Pages”/”My Page” on the left-side menu and then “Page Options”.  About halfway down the page there’s a “Fundraising Goal” switch.  For Team In Training events there are 3 choices for other events there are only 2 choices.  For Team In Training, choose “Minimum” and click “Save changes” on the bottom right and your page will display your fundraising minimum and progress toward that amount instead of showing your goal and progress toward that goal.  Please note that for VOY and SVOY this will be set to “Hide” and cannot be changed.
