Groups is a flexible new way for charities to organize, segment, and manage their fundraising within any event on GivenGain.
Whether you are participating in a major partner marathon or running your own event, Groups allow you to create nested sub-events attached to a parent event. This gives you finer control over how your fundraising activites are run, how your fundraisers are managed, and how your results are tracked.
Why Use Groups?
1. Differentiate Multiple Initiatives Within the Same Event
If your charity runs multiple campaigns or projects tied to a single event, Groups allow you to separate them while keeping everything connected to the main event.
Example: Running dedicated campaigns for different branches, specific hospital wards, or distinct conservation projects all taking part in the same event.
Benefit: Each Group has its own targets, description, and leaderboard, while still linking back to the parent event.
2. Segment and Manage Different Fundraiser Categories
Easily organize different cohorts of participants based on entry type, commitments, or team affiliations.
Example: Differentiating fundraisers who received a charity place / free entry (with a required fundraising minimum or fundmin commitment) from own-place / self-funded participants.
Benefit: Tailor messaging, track milestones, and manage fundraiser requirements separately for each category without cluttering your main event.
Key Highlights
Seamless Setup: Inherits the parent event’s branding, logo, dates, and causes automatically, while still allowing you to customize them as needed.
Dedicated Management Tab: Easily find and manage all your active, draft, and archived groups under the Groups tab in your GivenGain dashboard.
Independent Tracking & Leaderboards: Each Group has its own distinct statistics, participant list, and fundraising totals.
Full Lifecycle Controls: Publish, manage, archive, or delete Groups independently from the parent event.
