FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS For more FAQs please visit the Classy Help Center at http://www.classy.org/help-center/ basics Can I join more than one team?

11 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS For more FAQs please visit the Classy Help Center at basics Can I join more than one team? You can only associate your personal fundraising page with one team. What happens when someone donates directly to a team s page? The money donated directly to a team page is reflected in the team page total. It is NOT reflected in any of the individual team members totals. If you want a donation to show up in your personal total AND the team total, you should have the donor contribute through your personal page. If I donate to an individual or team fundraising page, who will have access to my information? When you make a donation through an individual or team fundraising page, the nonprofit you are contributing to will have access to your information. If you contribute through a personal fundraising page, then the person that created that page will have access to a report with your information. If you contribute through a personal fundraising page associated with a team or if you contribute directly to a team fundraising page, then the person that created the team page will also have access to a report with your information. What if I don t want to fundraise and just want to donate the $250 so that I can participate in Women Build? No problem! You still need to become a fundraiser and make the donation to your page.
