Your account data and settings

Dashboard > Account


In this section you can manage your profile and account settings. There are 2 tabs: Profile and Settings


Profile: Entering the details of the adminstrator/organiser

Dashboard > Account > Profile


The Dashboard's Profile section contains the details of the campaign manager (organiser).


Name and, if applicable, profile picture of the campaign organiser are displayed on the fundraiser page, so that visitors can see who organised the action.


You have already provided your name, e-mail, and telephone number when registering and creating an account.


In Profile, you can upload a profile picture that can be shown on your fundraiser page. Adding a profile picture makes the fundraiser more personal and is beneficial for receiving donations.

Showing a profile picture on your fundraiser page can be turned on or off in the 'Settings' tab at 'Edit fundraiser' in Fundraisers in your dashboard. By default, this option is turned on.


You can also choose the desired communication language. The choice is between German and English. Choosing the language means that your fundraiser page is automatically displayed in the chosen language.


Please note: this means all text that belongs to the Spendenaktion platform. You will have to place the (translated) content of your fundraiser (such as the title and the description) in the desired language (or languages).


You can also change your password in the Profile section as well as being able to delete your account.


Registering or adding an organisation, group or team to your profile

You may also organise your fundraiser as an organisation, group, or team.


Dashboard > Organisations


Organisations, groups, or teams can also be added in the Organisations section in your dashboard and linked to your fundraiser. This can be done under the heading 'Organisation' in your dashboard. Then an additional text block 'Fundraiser organised for:' will appear on your fundraiser page, containing the name, logo, description, and social media of your group, organisation, or team.


Dashboard > Account > Profile


You can also have an organisation, team, or group act as the campaign manager (adminstrator/organiser). In that case, you register with the organisation, group, or team name. Please note: the Profile form is intended for the registration of persons. An organisation, group, or team must fill in its name in the fields the first name and/or surname.

Both are also possible: adding an organisation, group, or team in your Profile and also under Organisations.


Our recommendation is to have one person register under Profile (the campaign manager (adminstrator/organiser) and add your organisation, team, or group in the Organsiations section.
