Getting started with Jamboree

Get ready for fundraising success with Jamboree!

Thank you for being a part of the future of fundraising with Jamboree! We're excited to share our app with you.

This guide covers setting up Jamboree, using the app (including selling at storefront locations), and finishing your fundraiser.

Setting up your fundraiser

Step 1: Download Jamboree

You can find Jamboree on Apple's App Store or the Google Play Store. Select "Get Started" to create a new fundraising event.

Step 2: Verify your phone number

We'll send you a confirmation code to make sure it's you.

Please give us a few minutes to create your event and grant you organizer-level access. After that, you can log in anywhere, anytime!

Step 3: Tell us about your fundraiser

Provide details like when you the fundraiser will begin and end and your group's fundraising goal for FunditForward™. Jamboree will walk you through step by step.

Running your fundraiser event

Step 1: Verify your event

When you open Jamboree, you'll see your event's home page. From here, you can manage your event's details and check on participants.

Step 2: Set your fundraising goal

Jamboree offers group goals and individual goals. In the app, select "My goal" from the home screen to pick your fundraising goal.

We'll even recommend goals to get you started!

Step 3: Share your event link with participants

You can invite others in your group to participate in your fundraiser from the app. Head to the bottom of your event page and select "Share event code."

Then, use the "Share via..." button to send your event invitation to participants. These participants must download Jamboree first before they can accept your invitation.

Selling with Jamboree

Step 1: Share your fundraising link with supporters

Jamboree has built-in social sharing tools to help you spread the word. Select "Share my page" from the home screen and choose a method.

Step 2: Use in-person selling

A big part of your Jamboree experience is in-person selling. You can take payments on the app using Tap to Pay and by sending a secure check out link to the supporter to complete payment on their device.

Storefronts™

A great way to sell in person is through Storefronts. That's where you and your group find spots outside local stores and even your own games/events and share your cause with your community.

Check out our guide to help you sell at Storefronts with Jamboree.

Step 3: Encourage and support your group

Use your fundraising leaderboard to encourage your group to aim higher. Run contests, remind them about rewards, or host a telethon to excite and engage your participants!

Get your money!

Step 1: Verify your earnings

Your event will close once your event's end date passes. You can also close it yourself earlier if needed.

Step 2: Provide your account info

Our team will reach out to you for more information so we can deliver your event funds.

Step 3: Share your insights

We'll want to hear about your experience. Our team will schedule a 30-minute chat to discuss your fundraiser.

Here to support your journey

We hope you enjoy Jamboree! Please reach out if you have questions or need help.
