A little extra time can go a long way
Great news! Bonus Days give your fundraiser an additional 48 hours after the scheduled end date to keep raising funds.
That means your supporters can keep placing orders, sellers can keep sharing their Pop-Up Stores®, and your fundraiser total can continue to grow. Your group still earns 50% of every eligible purchase during Bonus Days, so it’s a great opportunity to reach supporters who may have missed the original fundraiser window.
Bonus Days are automatically added to both 4-day and 7-day fundraisers. Organizers also have the flexibility to opt out during the final 24 hours of their live fundraiser.
