Fundraiser FAQ
Can I still support this campaign if I’m not part of a Life Group?
If you’re not part of a life group, we would love to connect you to one! Please email [email protected]. If this is not possible right now for any reason and you would still like to support our campaign, you can give directly by clicking ‘Give To The Campaign’ on the main campaign page: https://link.charitableimpact.com/Djs2fVh4DYb
Why can’t I see my group on the campaign page?
The list only shows the four most active groups, so you might need to click on ‘See All Groups’ or use the search bar to see the full list. Also make sure your group is not set as private, or it won’t show up in the campaign groups. You can change this by editing your group settings.
Can my Life Group merge with another one?
No – This challenge is for individual Life Groups.
Can I simply donate money towards my Life Group for the challenge?
We welcome all donations but the Life Group challenge is only for items that we sell.
Do I have to use the Charitable Impact platform?
Yes – Charitable Impact has been set up to enable your Life Group to create its own group page to track your group’s financial progress.
Can we start selling items before January 2026?
Yes – you can begin to fundraise immediately.
Can I put our Life Group monies raised through the sale of items into the offering?
For funds raised to be designated to your Life Group, it needs to go through the Charitable Impact Campaign.
Why are we having to sell items?
We all have items that we could sell, and it brings incredible strength, unity and joy as we work together.

How to Give
Please follow the instructions below to give using your Life Group Charitable Impact page
How do I give from my group page?
In order for your donations to count towards your group’s total, you need to give through the group page. Start by navigating to your group page and then clicking on the blue GIVE button. If you choose to give through the main 135 fundraiser page, it will not be associated with your Life Group page.
Do I need a pre-loaded balance to give?
Although CHIMP does have a feature that allows you to pre-load a balance into your account, it’s not necessary if you would like to make a donation through your group page. Simply enter the amount on the give form and choose your name from the dropdown menu under “Personal Account”.
