It is EASY

To Get Started
Step 1: Find an Organization, Fund or program you wish to support by using the search fields on the right side of the home page.
Step 2: Once you find your cause click on the 'Become a Fundraiser' button. Note: A nonprofit or an organization may choose not to accept fundraisers. If this is the case, the 'Become a Fundraiser' button will not be visible.
Step 3: Enter your name and email to register. If the organization or program is set up to automatically accept fundraisers you will see a page to complete your registration. If the organization or program manually accepts fundraisers, you will see a note stating that you will receive an email when your registration is approved. In both cases, you will receive an email to complete your registration.
Step 4: Check your email. You will be sent an email from GiveBig with a verification code to complete your registration. Use the link on the email to complete your registration.
Step 5: Once you enter your code, you will be prompted to create a Profile Name (max: 50 characters) and Password (min:6 Characters). The text you provide for your Profile Name will be added to the organization link to create your unique web address. Please select this name carefully as you won’t be able to change it once submitted.
Step 6: Once completed, click on 'Setting' to create your fundraising page.
