Step-by-step Written Guide

Would you rather read instructions than watch a video? We’ve got that, too! 

Don’t worry, it’s way easier than you think! 

Step 1

Go to the "Create a Fundraiser" Page

When you click on the link above, it will open in a new tab or window so you will still have access to these instructions.

Step 2

Select a Project Area that you would like to support

You can read about the different project areas or select "Make a Difference" to raise money for Amigos for Christ in general.

Step 3

Fill in your email address

If you already have an account, it will prompt you to log in.

If you don’t, it will prompt you to create an account once you click “Create a Page” at the bottom of the page.

Step 4

Design Your Page

Choose a Page Name (i.e. Fred's Graduation)

Select a Category (i.e. Special Event)

Step 5

Add a Photo

We recommend you add a photo of yourself, especially if you have a great one of you in Nicaragua. However, if you don't have one handy you can use one of ours (the options are in the setup). You can edit this later if you'd like.

Step 6

Add a Video

You will find a list of recommended videos below.

Step 7

Deadline and Goal

You can set your own goals! The "Goal" must be in the form of a number.

Step 8

Tell your Story

Us the "compose an epic" feature to tell a little bit about yourself, your experience with Amigos, and why you would love for others to join with you in supporting this project area or Amigos in general.

Step 9

Select “Create Page”

You are so close!

Step 10

If You Don't Have an Account

you will now be prompted to start an account. Fill in the information and this will allow you to edit your page and track your progress.

Step 11

Spread the Word

Once you have completed all these steps, you will receive an email that says, “Your Page is LIVE,” and this will include a link for you to share with your friends and family.

Recommended Videos

We have created a list of recommended videos for your fundraising page! But, if you have one you prefer to use, you won’t hurt our feelings. 

Once you find a video you would like to use, copy the text and paste the link on your “Create a Fundraiser” page.
