1. What is a Peer-to-Peer?

StockCrowd's Peer-to-Peer tool enables organisations to empower their donor communities and turn them into ambassadors for their causes.

The organisations create a Peer-to-Peer space with information and instructions about the campaign (Marketplace), and the donors can create their Fundraising pages related to that campaign.

In other words, with Peer-to-Peer pages, donors act as fundraisers, launching solidarity initiatives or challenges in favour of an organisation with the aim of raising funds for it.

❗️ If you are an organisation, you can find more information on how to create a Peer-to-peer (P2P) Campaign in this article.

2. Your Fundraiser Account - Personal Fundraising Space
