Managing Campaign Needs

What are Campaign Needs?

Campaign needs are the specific items and resources you need for your relief efforts. Each need has a target quantity, and donors can contribute to help you reach that goal.

Adding New Needs

1. Go to your campaign dashboard

   Find the campaign you want to update

2. Click “Manage Needs”

   Look for the button in your campaign card

3. Click “Add New Need”

   Fill in the details for the item

4. Save the need

   It will immediately appear on your campaign page

Need Information

Tracking Progress

Each campaign need shows:

• Progress Bar: Visual indicator of how much has been received
• Received / Target: Exact numbers (e.g., 45/100 sacks)
• Completion Status: Automatically marked complete when target is reached

Updating Received Amounts

When you receive donations, update the received quantity to show donors the impact of their contributions:

1. 1. Go to “Manage Inventory” in your dashboard
2. 2. Find the item that was donated
3. 3. Click “Record Donation”
4. 4. Enter the quantity received
5. 5. Optionally link to the donor (if not anonymous)

Best Practices

• ✓ Start with 3-5 essential needs, add more as needed
• ✓ Use consistent units (don't mix kg and lbs)
• ✓ Set realistic target quantities
• ✓ Prioritize urgent needs as “High Priority”
• ✓ Update received amounts promptly
• ✓ Add new needs as the situation evolves
