Beyond beautiful donation pages, event ticket sales, and powerful sharing features, NationBuilder now bumps your fundraising strategy up a notch with our latest enhancement to supporter profiles: Personal Fundraising Pages.
You can now empower individual fundraisers to help crowdfund your campaign by letting them set their goal and track their progress right on their public profile page. What's more, anyone who donates from a public profile will be credited towards that supporter's total automatically.
If you devise a strategy for your organization around this idea of crowdfunding, you can activate your most loyal supporters to help raise the funds you need.
All supporters need to fundraise for your nation is to:
You can also customize those pages to better tailor the experience to your supporters.
A great example is the Imagination Foundation, which was started after filmmaker Nirvan Mullick's short film Caine's Arcade went viral. Building off the enthusiasm, this nonprofit set out to "find, foster, and fund creativity and entrepreneurship in kids."
With the help of a NationBuilder Architect, they have created beautiful and effective personal profile pages where supporters can set fundraising goals, track their progress, and enter a pledge for when they reach their goal.
You can see Nirvan Mullick's donation goal on his profile live here.

Here’s the public issue tracking native support for what you’re requesting (it also includes a workaround for using election periods as campaigns): http://nationbuilder.com/noelfreeman/set_date_parameters_for_fundraising_or_allow_reset.

The charity I’m volunteering for wants to have pledge pages like this multiple times a year associated to two major events they host. One event is in the winter and the other in the summer.
I can establish user profiles as discussed in the above post, that operate as pledge pages, and even limit functionality to allow only those that have purchased a ticket for the event. However, the progress bar is always tied to the amount they’ve raised since becoming a member, not since the specific fundraising campaign started. I know leaderboards have a time_range_name variable, but I can’t see any similar options for donations, except perhaps utilizing cycles in the election settings on my site and outputting via donations_amount_this_cycle_format (even though I’m not using it for politics).
I’ve been able to show an dollar amount raised for the current “cycle”, but I can’t utilize that data in a progress bar.
