Goer Funding Pages ================== The optional Goer Funding Page gives a more detailed look at the funding status of trip participants. In addition to the funding goal and the amount currently raised, there is a graphical progress bar and a list of supporters. The page offers two possible views: one for Goers and another for supporters who have been given the link. Three settings on the mission trip Involvement control whether these views are available and what they include. These settings are found in the **Mission Trip Settings** section on the Involvement's `Settings > General` page. .. seealso:: :doc:`MissionTripInvolvementSetup` Settings -------- Enable Funding Pages When this setting is turned on, a funding page is available for trip participants. They can access it from their profile on the `Involvement > Registrations` page by clicking the `Funding Page` button. .. figure:: https://i.tpsdb.com/GFPparticipant.png :target: # | Enable Public Funding Pages This makes a Goer's funding page available to anyone who has been given the link. Enabling this setting has two additional effects: * The support link included in emails to supporters is **redirected** to the public Goer Funding Page instead of the usual donation page. * Facebook and Twitter links, as well as the page's URL for copying, are displayed on the Goer's view of the funding page. These links also appear on the public view. .. figure:: https://i.tpsdb.com/GFPsupporter.png :target: # | Show Public Funding Amounts When this setting is on, the public page will include the amounts that supporters have given, just as is always the case on the Goer's own view of the page. Elements of the Goer Funding Page --------------------------------- The trip name, dates, image, and description are all customizable based on several Involvement settings. * **Trip Name** — This is the name of the Involvement. * **Trip Dates** — Set on the Involvement's `Settings > Attendance` tab by entering dates in the `First Meeting Date` and `Last Meeting Date` fields. * **Image and/or Description** — Set on the Involvement's `Settings > General` tab in the `Description` field. .. tip:: Size your image before uploading. You can use the online resizer tool at https://www.picresize.com/ if you have no other way to change the size. It handles both resizing and cropping. * **Amount** — Based on the Fee set on the `Registration > Fees` tab. A Goer can only raise additional funds beyond their goal if the **RaiseBeyondRequired** Ad Hoc Extra Value is enabled on the Involvement, or if the system-level **Missions: Raise Beyond Required** setting is set to ``True``. .. tip:: To allow **all** mission trip Involvements to let participants raise beyond their required amount, navigate to `Administration > Settings > Features > Registrations` and set **Missions: Raise Beyond Required** to ``True``. Setting this to ``False`` (the default) allows each Goer to raise only what is required. .. seealso:: :doc:`MissionTripInvolvementSetup` * **Donate Button** — A `Donate` button (in place of the Goer's `Pay` button) takes supporters to the normal support page for that Goer. You do not need to configure this button. * **Links to Share** — If you `Enable Public Funding Pages`, this shows public links for Facebook, Twitter, and the page's URL to copy. * **Recent Supporters** — The list of supporters will show amounts only if the `Show Public Funding Amounts` setting is enabled. If one or more supporters gave anonymously, "Anonymous" appears in the list along with the total anonymous amount. .. seealso:: | :doc:`MissionTripOverview` | :doc:`MissionTripGoerExperience` | Posting a Support Link on a Website ----------------------------------- In addition to the personal Goer funding page explained above, you can post a link on your church website so that anyone can select a Goer and make an online donation. The link format is: https://MyChurch.tpsdb.com/OnlineReg/90165?GoerId=0 - Replace ``MyChurch`` with your church's TouchPoint database name. - Replace ``90165`` with the Involvement ID# for your Mission Trip Involvement, found in the URL of the Involvement. - ``GoerId=0`` allows the supporter to select someone from a drop down list of current participants. Only enrolled members will display in the drop down list. .. figure:: https://i.tpsdb.com/2015-01-22_07-17-41.png :target: # .. note:: If you wish to require supporters to donate to a specific trip participant before they can contribute to the trip in general, set the administration setting ``MissionSupportRequiredGoer`` to ``true``. Manually Configuring a Support Link for a Specific Goer -------------------------------------------------------- To create a link for a specific participant (e.g., to post on Facebook or share directly): https://mychurch.tpsdb.com/OnlineReg/123?GoerID=789 - Replace ``MyChurch`` with your church's TouchPoint database name. - ``123`` is the Involvement ID for the mission trip - ``789`` is the People ID for the participant Replace ``mychurch`` with your church's database name. The ``?GoerID=789`` directs the donation to that specific person. Without it, the link would be a registration link for the trip. .. note:: A staff member can also send a Support Link by copying it from the Goer's Member Dialog (right-click the SupportLink and Copy Link Address) and pasting it into an email. | | +-------------------+---------------+ | **Latest Update** | **5/29/2026** | +-------------------+---------------+ New Funding Pages article.
