What Goes Into Creating a Group Gift Page
Every group gift starts with a reason to celebrate or show appreciation. Whether you're collecting money for a teacher appreciation gift, a coach's end-of-season present, or a special occasion at work, SignUpGenius helps you bring everyone together and manage contributions in one place.
Customize your group gift page. Start by adding a banner image, title, description, and contact information. You can also include a collection goal with a progress bar, display the total amount collected, and recognize contributors with a customizable participant list.
Add FAQs and collection details. Answer common questions about the gift, suggested contributions, or what happens if you exceed your goal. You can also add dates and a location if they're relevant to your collection.
Set up your gift contribution options. Choose whether contributors can enter their own amount, select a fixed amount, or make recurring contributions. You can also provide suggested amounts to make it easier for everyone to participate at a level they're comfortable with.
Customize gift collection items. Add images, descriptions, individual collection goals, and other options to each item. If you're collecting for multiple recipients or gifts, you can create additional items with their own contribution settings.
Collect additional information from contributors. Add custom questions to gather personal messages, ask how contributors would like their names displayed on a card, or collect other details related to the gift.
Configure payment settings and receipts. Choose your accepted payment methods, configure credit card statement information, and decide whether contributors can cover transaction fees. You can also include custom messages on receipts to thank everyone for participating.
Preview and publish your group gift. Review your page to make sure everything looks right before publishing it.
Share your page and manage contributions. Invite people to contribute by sharing a link, posting on social media, adding a button to your website, or creating a QR code. Track contributions and generate reports and summaries from your dashboard.
