Learn how to create impact levels or offer incentives at certain donation levels.
If you’re running a Crowdfunding Campaign on RallyUp, it can be helpful to give donors guidance on how much they should donate. Crowdfunding Perks allows you to offer merch or other incentives at certain donation levels to encourage giving:

You can also create Impact Levels that describe how certain donation amounts will benefit your cause:

Crowdfunding Perks can increase the amount you raise, as donors are more likely to donate when they’re given an incentive or understand how their donation will be used.
What’s the difference between Perks and Impact Levels?
Perks offer tangible rewards like merchandise, exclusive access, or special recognition at specific donation levels. These rewards give donors something concrete in return for their contribution.
Impact Levels, on the other hand, describe the specific outcomes your cause will achieve with donations of various amounts. They help donors understand exactly how their contribution will make a difference without offering physical items in return.
Both approaches are effective at guiding donors toward appropriate giving levels and increasing overall donations.
