Start a campaign
Campaign owners, school leaders, alumni groups, and community organizers can start here to prepare a fund that grows under the endowment umbrella instead of stopping at a one-time appeal.
Campaign review is part of trust
The public site shows the steps and information needed first so campaign owners know what the review team will look for before a fund is approved and shared with donors.

Keep the story specific, the owner accountable, and the support model easy for donors to understand.
Review process
Start with a short campaign brief so the review team can understand the community need and the long-term goal.
The team checks who is leading the campaign, how decisions will be made, and whether the support model is clear.
Approved campaigns get a public-facing page with purpose, attribution, and reporting expectations before launch.
Once the campaign is ready, donors can support it with a clear path for receipts, updates, and annual reporting.
Stewardship and reporting
The campaign owner tells the story, but the fund still needs clear stewardship, annual updates, and donor receipts behind the scenes.
The review process is designed to keep the campaign human and local while still meeting trust expectations for public giving.
