Description: Provide a detailed description of your campaign. Explain what it's about, why it's important, and how the funds will be used. Keywords: Add keywords that are relevant to your campaign. These will help others find your campaign when they search for similar topics. Type each keyword and press enter to add it to your list.

Make sure each file is under 7MB. Address (beneficiary of this campaign): Fill in the address of the beneficiary of the funds. This is a required field. Fundraising Goal – $CAD: Set a monetary goal for your campaign in Canadian dollars. Think about how much you need to raise and put that amount here. Goal Date: Select or type in the date by which you aim to achieve your fundraising goal. The date should not be more than three calendar months from the start date. Add Beneficiary with Email Address (Optional): If this campaign is for someone else, you can invite them here by entering their email address. They'll be able to help manage the campaign. Campaign Category: Choose a category from the dropdown menu that best fits your campaign. This helps people interested in specific types of campaigns find yours more easily. Click to Acknowledge: Read the statement regarding the distribution of funds if the campaign meets its goal. If you agree and acknowledge this, click the checkbox to confirm.
