Adding photos to your fundraiser.

September 5, 2023

Updated

Fundraisers with compelling images that relate to the cause you’re raising funds for can promote engagement from potential investors, leading to increased investments. If you don't have a specific photo you'd like to use, you can use these templates on Canva to create a unique visual for your home fundraiser!

You'll need to choose one photo or video to be the primary image on your page, but you can add more to your story if you'd like.

When considering what images to choose, ask yourself a few questions:

How does this image help tell my story?


What feelings does this image evoke?


What kind of image would inspire me to invest?

How to upload your cover photo:

Our platform requires that you select a primary image or video to launch your home fundraiser, but you can edit that at any time by following these steps after signing into your account:

Select “Edit & Settings”
Select the “Change” button under "Cover media."
Select your desired image, and then click “Publish changes.”

Keep these tips in mind for your cover image:

Use JPEG, PNG, or BMP as the file type
The file size should be smaller than 20 MB
Make sure your image is horizontal (landscape orientation)
If you’re using someone else’s image, consider whether you have the right to use it.
