How2: Sharing Your Spiritstore Fundraiser
In this article we walk you step-by-step through the process of Sharing a Spiritstore Fundraiser.
Overview
It's the last day of the fundraiser you were asked to run and you are looking at the totals so far. The numbers are down from last year.
A lot.
You're not sure why because you did all the things the last manager did. You handed out the forms the fundraising company provided and you're pretty sure they mentioned it during school announcements at least once.

From ad graphics automatically created for your Spiritstore and fundraiser to instructions on how to use them you can feel confident your next fundraiser will be a success.
