Campaign Coordinator Hub
Everything you need to run a Jubilee Fund campaign well, from approval to close-out, is on this page.
What is a Campaign Coordinator?
You're the advocate, not the recipient.
A Campaign Coordinator is someone who knows a missionary or church staff member facing an urgent or unexpected financial crisis, medical debt, a vehicle emergency, or something similar. Your role is to step in and run the campaign on their behalf: tell the story honestly, reach out to your network and others who would want to support this need, and carry the campaign for 30 days from launch to close-out. Rivergate then pays the providers directly so the need is met.
This hub has everything you need: the full Coordinator Playbook, ready-to-use Sharing Resources, and answers to common questions in the Coordinator FAQ.
What you're saying yes to
- Tell a specific, honest story about the person you're advocating for.
- Reach out personally to your network, especially before launch day.
- Post updates and thank donors throughout the 30-day campaign.
- Notify Rivergate at close-out so disbursement to providers can begin.
Your 30-day path
Six Milestones from Approval to Close-Out
A quick overview of what to expect at each stage. Read the full playbook before your campaign launches.
Approval
Welcome
Your campaign is approved. Read through this page to understand what's ahead. Bookmark it. You'll return here throughout your 30-day campaign.
Before launch
Full Playbook
Your complete coordinator guide is ready. Read it before your campaign launches. It covers everything from writing the story to closing well.
Read the PlaybookDay 1
Campaign Kickoff
Your goal: raise 25% on day one. Before you post publicly, reach out to 5 to 10 people who are going to commit to give on day one. Campaigns that do that have the greatest likelihood of reaching their goal.
Day 10
Midpoint Check
Post a campaign update. Thank early donors by name. Campaigns with updates raise 3x more than those that go silent after launch.
Sharing ResourcesDay 21
Final Push
You have one week left. Reach out personally to anyone who hasn't given. Plan a final 72-hour push in the last few days: share exactly where you stand and what it takes to finish.
Days 27 to 30
Close-Out
The campaign closes. Rivergate sends a close-out email to all donors, including anonymous givers. Post your own public thank-you, thank donors personally, and notify Rivergate so disbursement can begin.
Pray with us
Before You Move to the Next Step
Each week, we ask coordinators to pray a simple thing: that the right people see this need, and that every gift counts toward something that lasts. Before you move to the next step, take a moment to pray for the person you're advocating for, and for the donors who haven't found the campaign yet. We believe prayer is not separate from the practical work. It's part of it.
