# Overview of the Trellis Dashboard

## Your central hub for managing fundraisers, payments, results, and your organization's account.

### **Dashboard Sections**

#### **Fundraisers**

The **Fundraisers** page is the default view when you log in. It shows all your active campaigns and lets you create new ones.

![](https://help.trellis.org/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-05-2026-05-37-56-5557-PM.png?width=670&height=180&name=image-png-Jun-05-2026-05-37-56-5557-PM.png)

Each fundraiser card includes three quick-access buttons:

- **Edit** — Opens the Fundraiser Builder to design and update your fundraiser.
- **View** — Opens the live fundraiser page as donors see it.
- **ESM** — Opens the Event and Sales Manager, including the Sales Entry System and Check-In Tool.

Click the **three-dots **on any fundraiser card to:

- **Rename** or **Duplicate** the fundraiser
- **Pause** a live fundraiser
- **Archive** old fundraisers
- Copy Fundraiser ID 

To view archived fundraisers, use the **Active / Archived** filter toggle above the fundraiser list.

---

#### **Messaging**

Use the [Messaging System](https://help.trellis.org/how-to-create-and-set-up-a-messaging-campaign?hsLang=en) to send emails and SMS messages to your donors (availability depends on your plan). Use this to share updates, promote your campaign, and keep donors engaged.

View your fundraiser's performance, including a breakdown of checkouts, pledges, and tax receipts generated.

---

#### **Team Roles**

Invite users to your organization and assign role-based permissions. For example, you can give volunteers access only to the **Check-In Tool** without broader admin access.

---

#### **Payments**

Connect your Trellis account to **Stripe Connect** and add your bank details to collect payments and receive payouts.

![](https://help.trellis.org/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-05-2026-05-41-28-5139-PM.png?width=670&height=375&name=image-png-Jun-05-2026-05-41-28-5139-PM.png)

 

**Please Note:** Stripe verification can take time. Start this process early to avoid delays in receiving payouts. For step-by-step instructions, [read this guide to setting up Payments](https://help.trellis.org/banking?hsLang=en).

---

#### **Tax Receipting**

Create and manage reusable tax receipt templates that can be applied across multiple fundraisers.

For setup instructions, [see this article on setting up tax receipting](https://help.trellis.org/how-to-setup-tax-receipting?hsLang=en).

---

#### **Profile**

Complete your organization's profile details here. This information is required for:

- Issuing tax receipts
- Verifying your organization
- Maintaining compliance with payment processors

![](https://help.trellis.org/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-05-2026-05-43-09-7751-PM.png?width=670&height=526&name=image-png-Jun-05-2026-05-43-09-7751-PM.png)

**Heads Up!** Incomplete profile information will prevent you from issuing tax receipts. Make sure all required fields are filled in before launching your fundraiser.

### **Frequently Asked Questions**

##### **Where do I go to create a new fundraiser?**

Navigate to the **Fundraisers** page from your Dashboard. It's the default view when you log in. From there, click **New Fundraiser** to get started.

##### **What is the ESM?**

The **Event and Sales Manager (ESM)** gives you access to the Sales Entry System and the Check-In Tool. It's designed for managing in-person event logistics and recording offline donations.

##### **Do I need to complete my Profile before launching a fundraiser?**

Yes. Incomplete profile information will block tax receipt issuance and may cause issues with payment processor verification. Complete your **Profile** section before going live.

##### **What happens if I archive a fundraiser?**

Archived fundraisers are hidden from your default **Active** view but are not deleted. You can view them anytime by switching to the **Archived** filter on the Fundraisers page.
