A campaign is any effort made by your organization toward completing a particular goal. Campaigns can be used for a few different things. Campaigns can be related to soliciting donations, generating interest for an event, attracting volunteers, or getting the word out about your mission with social media marketing. Once you create a campaign you can assign it to items like donations so you can track the progress of each campaign. As Fundraising
Campaigns, they can be used to create special public donation pages, to
encourage your donors to give for a specific reason. As Marketing Campaigns, they can be used to track the effectiveness of a specific marketing effort. Whichever
way you decide to use campaigns, they are associated to many modules in
Argenta, and they're a very powerful reporting tool!
