Introduction to Heja's Fundraising Feature
The fundraising feature in Heja is designed to help teams and groups raise funds efficiently through sales of designated products within the app. Users can easily set up fundraisers, track their progress, and collect funds to meet specified goals. This guide explains the process, available products, and notable restrictions.
Available Fundraiser Products
Currently, there are three main product options for fundraisers in Heja:
Cookies
Popcorn
Pretzels
These are the only products available for fundraising. Supporters can explore and purchase these items through virtual webshops linked to individual players.
How the Fundraising Process Works
Setting Up the Fundraiser - Users select a product and set a fundraising timeframe (e.g., 1 week, 1 month). They determine a fundraising goal that will be divided among individual team members.
Individual Player Goals and Virtual Webshops - Each player is assigned an individual goal (divided equally between all players) along with a unique link to their virtual webshop. This link can be shared with family, friends, and supporters.
Supporter Purchases and Shipping - Supporters can browse the available products via these webshops and make purchases. The purchased products are then shipped directly to the supporters.
Fund Distribution and Payouts
At the conclusion of the fundraiser, all collected funds are pooled together and paid out as follows:
The payout is made via bank transfer to the team admin. The admin will see instructions to set up their Stripe account to receive the payout. Note that we do not issue checks.
Conclusion
Heja’s fundraising feature is a straightforward tool for organizing and executing team fundraisers. By providing a structured format with built-in capabilities for virtual webshops and direct payouts, Heja ensures a seamless experience for teams.
