The easiest way to track your profit during the fundraiser is with the "Estimated Client Profit" number in the top left of your admin dashboard.
There are a few things to note about this number, however.
This number is purely an estimate, not an exact total. There are a few reasons for this:
- The amount of funds you have being donated is constantly changing, and sometimes there is a slight delay in banks processing funds.
- Donors may be issued refunds, which would then change the total
- Fundraisers that accept per lap/ unit donations in addition to flat can only be fully calculated once the number of laps/ units have been entered after the event
- Although the baseline percent profit for your fundraiser will be 85%, donors will cover much of the remaining 15% with the advent of Donor's Choice, leaving you to profit closer to 96% or 97%! However, the exact amount that donors cover cannot be fully calculated until donating is finished. During the course of the fundraiser, your estimated client profit will be based off of 95% profit. MyBooster fundraisers average 96% profit, but we use 95% to be conservative.
Once donating has been closed and all funds have been processed, we will be able to calculate an exact percent and total profit!
