# Creating Your Donor Account and Adding Your Credit Card Details
## In this article, we'll walk you (as donors) through how to Log In or Sign Up to participate in this fundraiser.
We’re excited to have you join the event. Follow the steps below to log in or sign up, so you can start bidding, donating, and engaging with the cause you care about.
### Steps to Participate
- Navigate to the **fundraising page** you’d like to support
- Click **Log In or Sign Up** in the top right corner of the page
- **Create an account**, and make sure to **add your credit card details**
- Once logged in, your **name will appear in the top right corner** — now you’re ready to go! You can easily bid, donate, and participate in the fundraiser
- Don’t forget to **add your phone number** so you can receive notifications about the event or when you get outbid on auction items
By adding your credit card details ahead of time, you’ll be able to give or bid instantly — no delays, just support when it matters most.
Your card will automatically be charged unless you make arrangements to use another source of payment prior to purchase.
**Important Details:**
- Your account is used across Trellis, the fundraising platform being used by the non-profit you are supporting. You can use the same account for any fundraisers being hosted across Trellis.
- Accounts are automatically created when event tickets are assigned, to save you time. You may already have an account, even if you don't remember creating one. Use the one-time login link to log in, instead of a password. [Learn More](https://help.trellis.org/how-to-access-your-giving-account?hsLang=en)
