Community Feed Block - How to share updates on your fundraiser, team or personal fundraising page
The Community Feed is a social engagement feature that allows fundraiser owners, team captains, and personal page owners to share updates, celebrate achievements, and engage with supporters directly on their fundraising pages.
Community Feed helps keep supporters informed throughout a campaign by making it easy to post updates, share photos and videos, celebrate fundraising milestones, and encourage ongoing participation.
The Community Feed allows page owners to share updates, media, and milestones while keeping supporters engaged throughout their fundraising journey.

Page owners can create and publish updates directly from the Community Feed section.
To create a post:

Optionally add media or a milestone.

Adding Images, GIFs, and Videos
Community Feed posts can include media to make updates more engaging and visually appealing.
Depending on your site's configuration, page owners may be able to add:
Images
Upload photos from your device to share event updates, fundraising progress, thank-you messages, or campaign highlights.

Milestone Posts
Community Feed includes milestone-sharing functionality that helps page owners celebrate fundraising achievements.
When a page reaches certain fundraising milestones, CrowdChange may display a suggested post that can be shared with a single click.
Examples include:

If dismissed, the same milestone prompt will not continue to appear repeatedly.
