How to Create a Giving Campaign in Millie

Millie makes it easy to launch impactful campaigns that combine donations, volunteering, and goods drives — all in one place.

You can create a campaign from scratch or jumpstart the process using a template from our Campaign Library. Whether you're planning a company-wide initiative for Giving Tuesday, Earth Day, or a local cause, campaigns help bring your community together around shared impact.

Step 1: Navigate to Campaigns

Go to the Campaigns tab in your admin dashboard (left-hand menu).

Step 2: Click Create New

Click the Create New button in the top right corner of the Campaigns table.

Step 3: Choose Your Activities

You’ll be asked which activities you’d like to include in the campaign:

• Donations
• Goods Drive
• Volunteering

You can select one, two, or all three — and modify this later if needed.

💡 Want to Start with a Template?

Visit the Campaign Template Library to launch a pre-built campaign with one click.

Templates include:

• Suggested nonprofits
• Pre-filled campaign descriptions
• Matching recommendations
• Preloaded banners and visuals

Click Use Template on any campaign to instantly populate the campaign builder with editable content.

Step 4: Fill Out Campaign Details

Add the core campaign information:

• Campaign Name
• Image – Upload a banner or campaign visual
• Short Description – A one-liner for previews
• Full Description – Share the purpose, goals, and details
• Optional Link – Link to an external resource or event page
• Campaign Dates – Choose a date range or mark as "Ongoing"

Step 5: Donations Settings (if included)

If you selected Donations, you’ll be able to configure:

• Donation Goal Tracker – Optional visual tracker of progress
• Matching Settings
• Set a custom match ratio or match budget
• Choose between:
• Employee Choice (employees choose their nonprofits)
• Pooled Fund (all donations go to selected nonprofits)
• Add supported nonprofits and optionally add them to your Match List

⚠️ Note: Only All Access Admins can configure campaign-level matching settings, including match ratios and budgets.

Step 6: Goods Drive Settings (if included)

• Add Items – Define what’s being collected (e.g., socks, hygiene kits)
• Combined Goal – Set a total goal for item donations
• Employee Tracking – Allow individuals to log their own donated items

Step 7: Volunteering (if included)

• Add volunteer opportunities directly to the campaign
• These will display to employees on the campaign page for easy sign-up

Step 8: Final Settings

• Activity Feed – Enable an event feed where employees can share posts or photos
• Group Support – Assign the campaign to one or more Groups
• Sharing Settings – Recommended: enable “Add to Dashboard” to feature the campaign prominently on the company homepage

Step 9: Save and Launch

Click Create to publish your campaign. You’ll now see it listed in your admin Campaigns table, along with:

• Activity types (donations, goods, volunteering)
• Live status and dates
• Fundraising totals, match usage, and engagement metrics

Employees will see active campaigns in their Events tab and on their Dashboard (if added).
