Fill in the information as follows:

Campaign name

This is only seen internally, so set the campaign name as something that will help you to identify your lottery.

Domain

Your domain will be automatically set as charityname.donr.com.

If you would like to change your domain to something different, please complete the rest of the steps and then contact us to ask us to update it.

Path

The 'path' is the set of characters that appear after the '/' in the URL of your Lottery Page i.e. in www.donr.com/knowledge, the domain is 'www.donr.com' and the path is 'knowledge' – we suggest using the title of your lottery page as the path. Please don't include any spaces between words in the path.

Full URL to promote to supporters

This will automatically update based on the domain and path

Thank you page

This page will be included as a link on the confirmation page, once a supporter has finished entering the lottery. This could be your charity’s home page or a dedicated page for lottery entrants.

Once you have completed all of the fields click next.

Screen 2 - Page Branding

Fill in the information as follows:

Public facing charity name

This is the name shown to supporters that interacts with your charity. It can be different to your primary organisation name, but should still be relevant.

Header image

Upload the image that you would like to use as a header on your lottery page. The image should be 1200 x 700 to avoid it being cropped or warped, and should include a gap sizes 1200 x 105 at the bottom, as the banner will cover this section.

Campaign colour

Choose your charity's brand colour. You can either use the colour picker or copy and paste your hex code.

Once you have completed all of the fields click next.

Screen 3 - Regular Income Stream

Attach your lottery to the appropriate Regular Income Stream, or create a Regular Income Stream. You can find out more about Regular Income Streams here.

Screen 4 - Campaign Insights

Complete with the date you plan to begin and end your lottery, or click campaign is ongoing if you plan to continue your lottery indefinitely. Add your fundraising target for the lottery. This information will help us to provide appropriate guidance and support.

Your lottery is now created. You can now edit your lottery further to optimise your supporters’ experience.
