You can connect an auction to a fundraising campaign and to an event so the proceeds and reporting roll up together. These links live on the Connections tab.
Why Connect an Auction?
- Auction proceeds count toward the campaign and event totals
- Unified reporting across your fundraising activities
- One clear place to see how the auction relates to the rest of your work
Connecting to a Campaign or Event
- Open the auction
- Click Connections in the workspace navigation
- At the top of the page, use the Campaign field to pick the campaign, and the Event field to pick the event
- Each selection saves on its own and shows a green check when saved. There is no separate save button
One Campaign and One Event
An auction connects to a single campaign and a single event. Choosing a different one replaces the previous link, which keeps the relationship clear and the reporting accurate. To remove a link, clear the field.
Other Connections
The Connections tab also lets you link the auction to:
- Funds: Associate restricted or unrestricted funds
- Programs: Connect the programs the auction supports
