Raising funds for animals in need has never been easier. Whether you’re helping injured street dogs, supporting a shelter, or gathering supplies for rescues, HelpBark’s fundraiser feature allows you to quickly create a campaign and share it with your network. Here's how to create a fundraiser on HelpBark:

Step 1: Visit the Fundraiser Page

First, head over to the Fundraisers section on HelpBark. On this page, you’ll see two options: one to browse ongoing fundraisers and another to start your own fundraiser.

Click the “Start a Fundraiser” button to begin creating your campaign.

Step 2: Add a Title and Description

Next, you’ll need to provide basic details about your fundraiser.

Start by entering a title that explains the purpose of your campaign. Then write a description explaining the situation, how the funds or items will be used, and why people should support your cause. A detailed description helps donors understand the impact of their support.

Step 3: Choose the Fundraiser Type

HelpBark offers two types of fundraisers depending on your needs.

Emergency Fundraiser – Choose this option if you need urgent help, such as medical treatment for an injured animal or immediate rescue support.
Monthly Goal Fundraiser – This option is ideal for ongoing support, such as feeding street dogs, shelter maintenance, or regular veterinary care.

Selecting the right type will help donors understand whether your need is urgent or long term.

Step 4: Select a Payment Method

Currently, HelpBark provides two ways for supporters to contribute to your fundraiser.

Amazon Wishlist – You can link your Amazon wishlist so supporters can directly purchase items your animals need, such as food, medicines, or supplies.
Third-Party Link – You can also add an external fundraiser link or UPI payment page where supporters can send contributions.

This flexibility makes it easy for people to help in the way that suits them best.

Step 5: Set a Goal Amount (Optional)

You also have the option to enter a goal amount, which represents the total funds you hope to raise. While this step is optional, setting a goal helps donors see how much support is needed and track the progress of your campaign.

Step 6: Add Start and End Dates (Optional)

This option allows you to specify a start date and end date for your fundraiser.

This feature can be useful if you’re running a time limited campaign, such as raising funds for an upcoming medical procedure or a monthly feeding program.

Step 7: Upload a Cover Image (Optional)

You can also upload a cover image for your fundraiser. A compelling photo such as the animals you’re helping can make your campaign more engaging and encourage more people to support your cause.

Step 8: Submit Your Fundraiser

Once all the details are filled in, simply submit your fundraiser.

After submission, you can also share the fundraiser link on WhatsApp, Instagram, and other social platforms to reach more supporters and start collecting donations.
