Enjoy redesigned user and cause profiles, simplified campaign edit, a brand new media manager, more efficient search, as well as countless other tweaks. These updates were driven by customer feedback and requests.
"The new Root Funding update is super organized and user friendly. Our organization is looking forward to continuing to create successful campaigns on this beautiful website."

Campaign Customization
Campaign customization has been simplified. As the campaign admin, you can now manage all campaign edits directly on the campaign. Just click on the edit icon within each section to modify and update.
Campaign customizations:
(1) Goal: Set your realistic and attainable fundraising goal
(2) Title: Add a captivating title that will encourage visitors to continue reading
(3) Message: Tell the story behind your fundraising efforts. Why are you raising money? Who will benefit?
(4) Media: Personalize your fundraiser with compelling media. Pro Tip: A single powerful photo or video is usually most effective
(5) Url: Customize the campaign link that will guide donors to your campaign
(6) Add offline donations: Add donations that you received via cash or checks
All About Your Cause
We have implemented a vibrant new Cause Page design to showcase your great work.
As the cause administrator, update cause information, track campaigns, monitor donations and manage media. There are two media categories that can be managed from the cause page.
(1) Cause Media: upload up to three items (photos and/or video) that will display to visitors, communicating your cause's mission and impact.
(2) Campaign Media: set one image or video that will appear as the default on all campaigns launched for your cause. Campaign owners are still encouraged to update with personal media that is more specific to them and their campaign.
Refreshed User Page
A refreshed User Page to introduce yourself with a personal photo and bio, giving donors a chance to "meet" you. Visitors can see your public activity, meaning any causes that you administer and campaigns that you run.
When logged in, you can see a consolidated view of your fundraising summary and a listing of all donations that you have made. These sections are only viewable by you (not visitors to your page).
Media Manager
The user, cause and campaign pages now have a unified media manager. Note: In addition to YouTube, you can now also include Vimeo videos.
When you upload a photo, you will be asked to crop the image. This allows you to optimally size photos for display while focusing on the relevant portion.
Lots more changes were implemented behind the scenes to improve the site's speed and efficiency. Now, it's your turn to check out the latest and let us know what you think.
