Engaging Networks

What is Engaging Networks?

Engaging Networks is the platform that powers our peer-to-peer and individual fundraising. We also use Engaging Networks for event registration pages. They are our chosen vendor and our systems are synced with theirs to provide a great experience for our fundraisers, supporters and donors - and best of all, it helps us tick to our core priority of efficiency. With an Engaging Networks Page, you can:

-Share the link with your chapter network, family, friends, and neighbors, event attendees to raise chapter funds that go directly to Room to Read

-Track your chapter's fundraising efforts and send email prompts or thank you notes

-Organize and streamline your chapter members' fundraising efforts

The below resources are for creating and maintaining your Peer to Peer fundraising page(s). Information for the event component of Engaging Networks can be found in the Events tab of the Chapter Hub.

Engaging Networks Frequently Asked Questions

How do other chapter members or individuals join my "team" (chapter fundraising page)?
Please see our training on how to join a chapter.

How do I share the link to my fundraising page?
The easiest way to share your link is to copy the webpage address. You can also use the email feature in Engaging Networks (see our dashboard overview training) to send out direct emails with a link to your page. We highly recommend sharing the link to your page on your social media bios and email signatures. See our Helpful Resources below for more ideas.

What is a chapter admin account and how do I access?
From the Chapter Admin account, you have permission to edit the Chapter Team page and send messages to chapter members on Engaging Networks. The login credentials for this account should be shared with any chapter leaders or members responsible for managing the Chapter Team page, and usually use the chapter's email address. For some chapters, the admin is also an individual fundraiser. Our data structure visual will explain the role of the admin account and if you don't know the login, check with your other leaders or email us for help.

How should I use this fundraising page for my chapter?
This page is the best way for your chapter to collect donations that go directly to Room to Read without any % taken, and will ensure credit to your chapter's fundraising efforts. We encourage you to share the link to your page on your social media sites, email signatures, any solicitations you make, and to collect donations at events. Of course, we know that not all donations will be made online, so we have systems in place to collect donations solicited by your chapter and add those gifts offline to your thermostat on your Engaging Networks page. This page is a great way to track your donations and progress to your chapter's overall fundraising goal.
