View Initiatives

How to view and filter your crowdfunding initiatives by status in LFX Self Serve.

Last updated

The View Initiatives page shows all crowdfunding initiatives you have created, along with a summary stats bar and a filterable list grouped by initiative status.

Stats bar

At the top of the page, a stats bar shows a high-level summary across all your initiatives:

  • Active Initiatives — the number of initiatives with a published status that are currently accepting donations
  • Total Raised — the cumulative amount raised across all your initiatives; includes a monthly gain indicator when there is positive growth in the current month
  • Total Sponsors — the total number of unique sponsors across all your initiatives

Initiative list

Below the stats bar, your initiatives are displayed as cards. Use the status filter pills to switch between groups:

Filter Included statuses
Active Published — the initiative is live and accepting donations
Pending Pending or Submitted — the initiative is under review and not yet live
Archived Hidden or Declined — the initiative is no longer accepting donations

Each filter pill shows the count of initiatives in that group. The list supports pagination with a load-more button.

Create an initiative

Select New Initiative in the page header to open the creation flow in LFX Crowdfunding in a new tab. Initiative creation and submission happen in that separate product, not in LFX Self Serve.

When you have no initiatives, the empty list also offers New Initiative. If you already have initiatives but the selected status filter has no matches, the list shows that filter's empty message without an in-panel creation action. You can switch filters or use New Initiative in the header.

Initiatives under other lenses

The same page appears under the Projects, Foundation, and Organization lenses as Crowdfunding Initiatives, listing the initiatives run on behalf of the selected entity. Its description reads "Fundraising initiatives on LFX Crowdfunding run on behalf of" the entity, and it can show two extra states:

  • You don't have access to these initiatives — only writers on the project or foundation, or Admins granted directly on the organization, can see the initiatives run on its behalf.
  • Initiatives couldn't be loaded — LFX Crowdfunding is temporarily unavailable. Select Try again.

See Lens-scoped Initiatives for who can see these pages.

Before you begin

  • You do not need an existing initiative to use this page. To start one, use New Initiative to open the separate LFX Crowdfunding product in a new tab.

  1. Sign in to app.lfx.dev.
  2. Select Crowdfunding → Initiatives from the left navigation sidebar.
  3. Review the stats bar for an overview of your fundraising activity.
  4. Select a status filter pill (Active, Pending, or Archived) to narrow the list.
  5. Select an initiative card to open its detail page.

After completing

The initiative detail page opens, where you can review financials and manage the initiative. See Manage Initiatives for available actions.
