Learn how Personal Fundraising Pages help Peer-to-Peer Participants and Teams raise more money. Discover how to customize, share, and track donations.
Personal Fundraising Pages are customizable mini-Campaign Pages that Peer-to-Peer Participants* and Teams* use to promote fundraisers within their own networks. These pages function like individual Campaign sites with information about your organization, fundraising goals, and donation options that Participants can personalize and share with friends, family, and social media followers:
When donors contribute through a Participant’s personal page, that Participant automatically receives credit for the donation, enabling tracking, leaderboards, and prize eligibility.
*Terminology may differ according to Campaign settings.
What Are Personal Fundraising Pages?
Short answer: Personal Fundraising Pages are customizable web pages assigned to individual Participants or Teams in Peer-to-Peer Campaigns, allowing them to fundraise independently while supporting your organization’s overall goals.
Detailed explanation: When you enable Personal Fundraising Pages in your Peer-to-Peer or A-Thon campaign, each registered Participant and/or Team receives their own unique URL leading to a Personal Fundraising Page. These pages automatically populate with content from your main Campaign Page but allow Participants to add their own photos, stories, and personal reasons for supporting your cause. This personalization helps Participants connect authentically with their networks and raise funds more effectively than simply sharing a generic Campaign link.
How Personal Fundraising Pages Work
For Campaign Organizers
When you enable Personal Fundraising Pages, RallyUp automatically generates a unique page for each Participant or Team that registers for your Campaign. These pages:
- Pull default content (images, text, donation options) from your main Campaign Page
- Display the Participant or Team’s name and fundraising progress
- Track donations made through that specific page
- Update automatically to reflect current fundraising totals
For Participants
Participants access their Personal Fundraising Page through:
- Their Participant Dashboard in their RallyUp account
- The main Campaign Page’s Participant Center
- Direct links provided in registration confirmation emails
From their fundraising page, Participants can:
- Customize images and personal stories
- Share their unique page URL on social media, email, and text
- Track who donated through their page
- Monitor their fundraising progress
- View their ranking on leaderboards (if enabled)
For Donors
When someone visits a Participant’s Personal Fundraising Page, they see:
- The Participant’s personalized message about why they’re fundraising
- Information about your organization and Campaign
- Clear donation options linked to the Campaign’s fundraising Components
- The Participant’s fundraising goal and progress
Donations made through personal pages automatically credit the Participant while supporting your organization’s overall Campaign goals.
For A-Thon Campaigns
Personal Fundraising Pages work especially well for A-Thon Campaigns (walk-a-thons, read-a-thons, etc.):
- Donors can submit pledges directly from the Participant’s page
- Pages display the Participant’s activity goals and progress
- Participants can log completed activities (miles walked, books read, etc.)
- Progress updates appear automatically on their fundraising page
How-to: Log A-Thon Activity and Calculate Progress

Frequently Asked Questions
Do all Peer-to-Peer Campaigns have Personal Fundraising Pages?
No, Personal Fundraising Pages are an optional feature that Campaign organizers must enable. Not all Peer-to-Peer or A-Thon Campaigns include this functionality. Check with your Campaign organizer to confirm if fundraising pages are available.
Can Participants access their pages without registering with an email address?
No, Participants must provide an email address during registration to access their Personal Fundraising Page. The registration email contains login credentials and links to access the page.
How do donations through Personal Fundraising Pages get credited?
When someone donates through a Participant’s Personal Fundraising Page, the system automatically credits that Participant for the donation. This credit counts toward their fundraising total, leaderboard ranking, and prize eligibility.
Can Team pages and individual Participant pages coexist in the same Campaign?
Yes, Campaign organizers can enable Personal Fundraising Pages for both individual Participants and Teams simultaneously. Team members can have their own pages while also contributing to their Team’s collective page.
How long does it take for edits to appear on fundraising pages?
Changes made to Personal Fundraising Pages can take up to 15 minutes to appear on the live page. Allow time for updates to process before sharing recently edited pages.
What happens if a Participant doesn’t customize their page?
Participants aren’t required to customize their Personal Fundraising Pages. Pages automatically populate with content from the main Campaign Page and function perfectly well without personalization, though customized pages typically perform better.
Why would I enable Personal Fundraising Pages instead of just sharing the main Campaign link?
Personal Fundraising Pages allow Participants to tell their own stories about why the cause matters to them personally. This authentic, individualized approach typically raises more money than generic Campaign sharing because donors respond better to personal connections and peer recommendations.
How do Personal Fundraising Pages fit into the overall Peer-to-Peer strategy?
Personal Fundraising Pages extend your Campaign’s reach by enabling each Participant to tap into their own network. Instead of your organization doing all the promotion, you empower supporters to become ambassadors who share personalized pages with hundreds or thousands of potential new donors.
