When something is wrong
Nothing is coming in
Work down this list in order. The answer is almost always the sentence at the top of your own dashboard.
1. Read the tile at the top of your dashboard
It says, in one large sentence, whether you are taking donations and until when. It is the first thing on the page for exactly this reason. If it says anything other than open, that is your answer.
| The tile says | What to do |
|---|---|
| Closed, or Opens on a future date | Your dates are the problem. See Set your fundraising dates. |
| Something about your organization’s season | Your district is what is shut, and your own dates cannot open it. Contact your foundation. |
| Open, with a date in the future | You are live. Keep reading. |
2. Check for the amber notice
If your organization is not switched on yet, an amber panel near the top of your dashboard says so and your public pages will not load at all. Nothing you do on your own dashboard changes that. See Start accepting donations.
3. Open your own link on your own phone
Press Copy link on any athlete row, paste it into your phone browser, and try to give a dollar yourself. Two minutes of this answers more than an hour of guessing. Whatever a parent is seeing, you will see it too.
4. Then ask whether anybody has actually been asked
This is the real answer far more often than anything technical. Fundly sends nothing on its own. If the cards are still in a stack in your car, nobody has been asked to give.
- Look at the Athletes number. It tells you how many kids have at least one donation. If it is 3 of 22, the links did not reach 19 families.
- Hand out the cards at practice. See Print athlete cards.
- Post the whole set to the team chat. See Send every link at once.

Three things have to be true. Two of them are your foundation’s job and one is yours.
A link or QR code does not work
There are only a few reasons this happens, and they are quick to tell apart.
Set your fundraising dates
Your season, not somebody else’s. Soccer is fall, swim is winter, track is spring, and the dates live on your own dashboard.
