Creating Your First Campaign - Dasig Organizer Guide

Before you start

Make sure you have a Dasig account and are signed in. All new users automatically get organizer permissions.

Step 1: Navigate to Campaign Creation

Click the “Start a Campaign” button in the header navigation, or visit the campaign creation page directly.

Step 2: Fill in Basic Information

Required Fields:

Campaign Title: Choose a clear, descriptive name (e.g., “Earthquake Relief for Bohol Communities”)
Disaster Event: Select or create the disaster event your campaign is responding to
Location: Specify the affected area (province, city, barangay)

Campaign Type: Choose whether you're collecting donations, volunteers, or both

Step 3: Define What You Need

Add specific items or resources you need. For each need, specify:

• Item name and category: Food, water, medical supplies, volunteers, etc.
• Target quantity: Number and unit of measurement
• Priority level: Urgent, high, medium, or low
• Description: Details about the need (for volunteers: roles, shifts, requirements)

Need Volunteers?

Add a need with category "Volunteers" to enable volunteer signups. You'll also need to add assembly locations where volunteers can meet. Learn more in the Recruiting Volunteers guide.

Tip: Be specific

Instead of “Food,” list specific items like “Rice (25kg bags)” or “Canned goods (sardines, corned beef).” This helps donors know exactly what to contribute.

Step 4: Tell Your Story

Write a compelling narrative that explains:

• What happened and who is affected
• Why you're organizing this campaign
• How the donations will be used
• The impact you hope to achieve

Step 5: Add Photos and Evidence

Upload clear photos showing:

• The affected area or disaster impact
• People you're helping (with consent)
• Your team or organization in action

Privacy matters

Always get consent before posting photos of affected individuals. Respect dignity and privacy.

Step 6: Set Distribution Details

Provide information about how donors can contribute:

• Drop-off locations and hours
• Contact information for coordination
• Timeline for collection and distribution

Step 7: Review and Submit

✓ Double-check all information for accuracy
