It would also be helpful to have the ability in setting team fundraising goal (in additional to individual fundraising goal). It'll motivate the team to work towards a common goal. – izewine, on July 23, 2008 21:58

This is great feedback for us to hear so that we can change this for the better. Keep the suggestions coming. – Hannah, on July 10, 2008 04:11

Hi All! Firstgiving may need to redefine their definition of "team". I suggest Teams raise money for events or causes. The Event or Cause is supported by the individual teams listed in the team area UNDER the event or cause. Firstgiving's definition has confused me from day one with their definition.

These are great ideas! We have been discussing some of these among ourselves as well. Please feel free to share any other ideas you have :-)

Thank you both for your replies. I would love to be able to have a way for people donating to have an option to either donate to a specific person on the team or to the general team fund. A majority of the people who are donating to us are going to want to donate to the team as a whole rather than to a specific person(s) so we'll only have one team page to make it easier on them. However, this makes it difficult for us since some people will show up with no online donations.

Another idea may to be give people donating the option of splitting their money equally among certain team members. For example, if someone wanted to donate $100 overall, they could allocate $50 to my page and $50 to another team member's page.

Thank you again for your help and for accepting feedback!

Yes, well said Beth. Right now we don't have the 'donate to a team' option. This is something we're considering for the next edition of our website, due out later this year. What other things would you like to see in place in the future ekk_3? What other team features or general features would you like to have available for your Firstgiving pages. We want to know what you want!
Thanks, Hannah

Hey there!

So the way our system works best is if everyone has their own individual page, linked together by the team, and then you can view the "team area" that lists all pages and registrants for that team and the team online total.

If you do wish to continue the way you have it now, only you will get credit for the donations on your page.
