We encourage you to post an update at least once a week while your campaign is running. Research has found that a timely update showing impact is directly linked to donors returning to give again.
How to Post an Update
- Open your campaign page and go to Manage Campaign, then click Updates.
- Add a title for your update.
- Write your update. It will post to your campaign and send an email to your current donors, so always include another call to action: Pray, Share, or Give again to help reach your goal.
- Add a high quality image that reinforces your update.
- Click Post Update, then go view your campaign to see it live.
What Donors See
On the community board, people can view your update's image and full description. Your donors will also receive the update by email, which includes your description, any images, and a link back to your campaign.

- Post regular updates, at least once per week while your campaign is running.
