What are fundraising campaigns and how to create it 🇳🇴

Updated today

⚠️ Fundraising campaigns with digital scratch cards and product sales are only available in Norway


What are fundraising campaigns?

Now, family and friends can easily support teams and organizations in Norway by using various fundraising tools in Spond. The first fundraising campaigns launched included scratch cards and product sales.

Each fundraising campaign lasts one week and members can send it out to their circle of friends directly via text message, email or social media. Payments are made via card or Vipps and can be made via mobile phone, tablet or computer.


How do I create a fundraising campaign?

All group administrators in Spond are granted the “Fundraisers” permission by default, allowing them to create fundraising campaigns within the groups they manage. Administrators with the Group Manager role have the ability to manage these permissions, including the option to remove the “Fundraisers” permission from another administrator if necessary.

Members and guardians can create fundraising campaigns, but these must be approved by a group administrator before they can be published. This feature is enabled by default for members and guardians. Once a campaign has been approved by a group administrator, responsibility for it is transferred to the administrator. The administrator will then have an overview of the sales and can either add a payout account or choose to keep the account selected by the guardian or member.

Approval of a fundraising campaign created by a guardian or member

Members and guardians can start their own fundraising campaigns, but the campaign will not be visible or active until it has been approved by a group administrator.


How to approve a fundraising campaign created by a guardian or member

  1. When a guardian or member creates a fundraising campaign in a group, the selected group administrator will receive an automatic message from the person who created the campaign stating:

    I have set up a fundraising campaign for our group. Everything is ready, you just need to review and approve it.”​

  2. The administrator simply needs to tap the message to view an overview of the campaign that has been created.

  3. Review the campaign, make any necessary changes (for example, adding or changing the payout account), and select Save & approve or Create campaign, depending on whether you are using the mobile app or the web version.

💡 TIP!

  • If the member or guardian does not add a payout account before the administrator approves the campaign, the administrator must add a payout account themselves. If the member or guardian wants a specific payout account to be used, they must add it before the campaign is approved.

  • A guardian or member can return to the fundraising campaign, for example to add a payout account, by either selecting Fundraising in the app or the web version, or by going to Messages and opening the message with the request for campaign approval sent to the administrator.

When the campaign is created

The fundraising campaign will have a public page for the campaign, and each participant will also have a private page that they can share.

A message will be sent to participants when the campaign starts with a link to their personalised page.


When only "stop fundraising notifications" is shown as an option.

This means that you do not have the right to manage "settings" in the group and can't edit the campaign. Contact the group manager if you wish to change your admin rights in the group.


When will the profit be paid out?

Once the campaign has ended, the group will be paid the profits within 14 working days after the campaign has ended. A survey will be sent to the person who created the campaign afterwards to get feedback on the solution.


Frequently asked questions

Can I extend a fundraising campaign?


No, it is not possible to extend a fundraising campaign once it has been created.

However, once the campaign has ended, you can easily create a new campaign with the same content and theme.

This way, you can continue the fundraising without interruption.

It's been over 14 business days since our fundraising campaign has ended. We haven't received any money yet, why is this?

If you'ven't received the money yet, double-check that you've remembered to enter the account number for the fundraiser.

Once the account number has been added, we can verify it and pay it out in the next instalment of fundraising campaigns.
