When should you create a campaign?

I have a question regarding when creating a campaign is needed. We are building out pledge forms for giving groups. Each group fundraises for different funds. Would I be advised to create a separate campaign for each group or could all the donation/pledge forms be put into one general fundraising campaign and allocated funds based on the individual forms?

    I generally allocate funds based on individual forms (no new campaign for every fund), but there's some flexibility here in my experience.  I encourage you to test out different ways of doing it and seeing what works best for your organization!

    It depends on how you want to report out in LO as well.


    If you make one campaign called "Pledge Forms" then make different donation forms for each group, like Bri MacBain‍ mentioned, you can run a campaign report to see all the pledges made from every group in one spot. If you split them into separate campaigns you will need to do a little adding to get a full total.


    Thanks,
