How to use the Fundraising Campaign Planner.
A fundraising plan should connect a realistic target with channels, owners and costs. Separate pledges from received funds and track net proceeds as well as gross donations.
Make the workflow fit your task.
Set the fundraising period, gross target, expected costs and responsible roles. Plan activities with decision checkpoints, tracking pledges separately from received gifts. Report net proceeds and adjust tactics from actual results rather than treating the target as a forecast.

Illustrative input and output · a teaching example, not a live WebAct run
Example input
Eight-week campaign target: USD 5,000 received; planned expenses USD 500. Available roles: campaign lead, communications lead, finance lead. Create a proposed outline.
Completed example
Weeks 1–2: campaign lead confirms the case and responsibilities; communications lead prepares approved appeal materials. Weeks 3–6: communications lead runs the agreed outreach; finance lead tracks received gifts, pledges and costs separately each week. Week 7: campaign lead reviews the remaining gap and approved follow-up options. Week 8: finance lead reconciles receipts and costs; communications lead thanks donors. At target and planned cost: USD 5,000 − USD 500 = USD 4,500 net proceeds, before any unlisted costs.

Decisions and troubleshooting.
Should pledged donations count as money available to spend?
Keep them separate from received funds until collection and any restrictions are confirmed.
Why does reaching the headline fundraising target leave less for the program?
Campaign costs or restricted gifts may reduce usable funds. Show gross receipts, costs and relevant restrictions.
