FundHero is a fundraising platform for nonprofits, political campaigns and similar groups. It combines donation pages that take online gifts with a donor CRM for tracking contacts, outreach and results.

## What you can do with it

- **Take donations online.** Build a donation page that donors reach at `https://secure.fundhero.com/<team>/<slug>`. Payments are processed by Stripe.
- **Keep track of donors.** Store contacts, organize them into groups and tags, and let smart groups surface the people who need attention, such as donors who haven't been thanked yet.
- **Log your outreach.** Record emails, calls, notes, tasks, pledges and offline gifts on each contact's timeline.
- **Report on results.** Run built-in reports and download them as CSV files.
- **Work as a team.** Invite teammates, assign tasks and keep everyone on the same donor list.

## Who it's for

When you create an account, FundHero asks for your organization's type: **Non-Profit**, **Political Campaign** or **Other**.

## Where things are

The top navigation bar has five items:

- **Contacts**: your donor database, groups, tags and smart groups.
- **Donation Pages**: create, edit and share your pages.
- **Reports**: built-in and custom reports.
- **Templates**: reusable email templates.
- **Support**: contact details and help articles.

The gear icon in the top right opens a menu with your name and email, your teams, **Imports**, **Settings** and **Sign Out**.

Your **Dashboard** is the home screen. It shows campaign statistics, your fundraising goal, outstanding tasks and your smart lists. See [Use the dashboard checklist](https://www.fundhero.com/help/dashboard-checklist/) for a walkthrough.

## Demo video

The old help site had a recorded demo of FundHero. It isn't carried over here, because it can't be checked against the current dashboard. This article and the other articles in Getting started replace it.
