How Do I Customize Fundraising Pipeline Stages?

For SponsorsBy Syndelo

Explains how to create pipelines and add, edit, reorder, and delete stages.

Go to Settings and choose Pipelines, or click Edit Pipelines on the fundraising pipeline page. Only people who can manage raises can change pipelines.

Default stages

A new pipeline starts with these stages: Qualified, Interested, Reviewing, Committed, Paperwork complete, Funded, and Lost. You can rename, reorder, add, and delete them.

Add or edit a stage

  1. Click Add Stage, or Edit next to a stage.
  2. Enter a Stage Name.
  3. Choose a Type: Open (still deciding), Committed (has committed capital), Won (funded and done), or Lost (not investing). Moving an opportunity into a Committed or Won stage notifies its owner.
  4. Pick a Color.
  5. Under Move Here Automatically When, choose an event or leave it as Never. Events include an investor showing interest or reserving, a subscription submitted, a subscription approved or pledge recorded, every document signed, and a pledge fully funded.
  6. Click Add Stage or Save Stage.

Automatic moves go forward only. They never move a prospect out of Lost.

Reorder or delete stages

  • Drag stages, or use the up and down arrows.
  • Click Delete to remove a stage. If it has opportunities, choose a stage to move them to and click Move and Delete Stage.

Multiple pipelines

  • Click New Pipeline to create another one.
  • In Pipeline Settings, use Rename or Make Default. New raises use the default pipeline unless you choose another.
  • Delete Pipeline is available only for a pipeline that isn’t the default and isn’t used by any raise.
