Q: What’s the difference between a campaign page and a fundraising page?

The Campaigns are how Generosity Water keeps track of different programs (i.e. our Students Campaign, our Monthly Donors, our Run for Water). If you simply want to start your own page, start it under “Individual Fundraisers.”
Q: How do I spread the word about my fundraiser?
