Build a transparent campaign target from documented needs and current platform costs.
Program rules, amounts, and dates can change. Check the linked official sources for the current cycle.
Estimate the actual need
List expected expenses and explain how the total was calculated. Separate immediate costs from future or optional goals.
Account for transaction costs
Read the platform’s current fee information and understand that net proceeds may differ from gross donations. Fee structures can change.
Explain how funds will be handled
Say what happens if you raise less or more than the target and update the story if the plan changes. Keep receipts and records.
