Before you can create a campaign, you'll need a FundlyHub account. Head to fundlyhub.org and click the "Start Fundraiser" button in the top navigation, or the "Sign In" button if you already have an account.

Set Your Goal & Details

Configure the key details of your fundraiser in the right sidebar:

Goal Amount ($)
Category
Location
Beneficiary
Campaign Type
End Date
Visibility
Custom URL Slug

The category is automatically detected by AI based on your title and story content — you can always override it manually. Choose between Quick (personal cause) or Project (structured campaign) types, and set visibility to Public, Unlisted, or Private.

Use the AI Chatbot (Fundraiser Creator)

The Fundraiser Creator chatbot is your AI assistant for building campaigns. Look for the chat bubble icon in the bottom action bar.

What you can do:

Describe your cause in plain language and the bot will fill in the form fields

Send a link (e.g., a GoFundMe or news article URL) — the bot will scrape the content and auto-populate your title, story, goal, category, and cover image

Ask for help improving your story, picking a goal amount, or choosing a category

When the bot fills in fields, you'll see a pulse animation on the updated sections and a toast notification. All auto-filled content is fully editable.

Import from GoFundMe (or Any Link)

Already have a campaign on another platform? You can import it in seconds:

1. Use the AI Chatbot and paste any campaign URL (GoFundMe, news articles, etc.)

2. The bot scrapes the page and extracts the title, story, goal amount, cover image, category, and location

3. Review the imported data — all fields are pre-filled and fully editable

This is perfect for migrating an existing campaign to FundlyHub without re-typing everything.

8
Review & Publish

Once you're happy with your campaign, hit the Publish button in the bottom action bar. Before publishing:

Review your cover photo, title, summary, and story

Double-check your goal amount and category

Set your preferred visibility (public, unlisted, or private)

After publishing, your campaign goes live and is discoverable on FundlyHub. You can always edit it later from your profile.
