Free Agent Fundraisers allows peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns to be created at the Giving Day level. This provides community leaders, alumni, or other individuals the opportunity to raise funds for the Giving Day without selecting a specific organization or group to represent.
The Free Agent Fundraising page building capabilities mimic those of the Peer-to-Peer Fundraising campaigns on the organization level. The key difference is that you can manage your FAF's right from your partner dashboard under "Engagement Tools" > Peer-to-Peer Fundraising, and configure some additional settings around how you want to leverage all of the available P2P Fundraising tools:
Allow Peer-to-Peer Fundraising: To ensure Peer-to-Peer Fundraising is enabled as a functionality for your organizations.
**Enable Free Agent Fundraising: Check this box to use the tool we're talking about here!
Enable the Fundraiser Page & add to the menu on your site: Enable a dynamic index and search page for all existing P2P and FAF campaigns, and make this page available from the Menu in the top right-hand corner of my Giving Day site. This page will show live stats of your fundraisers during your Giving Day!
