Reporting & Reconciliation

Participant Leaderboard

A ranked view of participants by amount raised, used to track individual fundraising progress within a campaign.

What it means

The participant leaderboard is a ranked view showing how much each individual participant has raised relative to their teammates within an active campaign. It's built directly from the same underlying donation data used for overall campaign reporting, just organized and sorted at the individual level rather than aggregated to a single campaign total.

How it works on HypeRaise

Coaches and program administrators typically use the leaderboard for internal tracking purposes: identifying top fundraisers worth recognizing publicly, spotting participants who haven't started sharing their page yet and may need a reminder or some encouragement, and getting a general sense of engagement levels across the full roster rather than just the campaign's combined total.

Key details

Because the leaderboard is built on real-time data, it reflects current standing at any point during the campaign, not a snapshot from an earlier check-in. A coach glancing at it mid-campaign sees exactly where things stand at that moment.

Reporting participation this way gives coaches a data-backed basis for recognition, rather than relying on general impression or memory of who seems to be working hardest. It can also surface useful patterns over time: whether certain outreach strategies, such as a team captain leading by example, a specific reminder message, or an early-campaign push, correlate with stronger individual participation across a roster, insight that's harder to spot without the leaderboard's structured view.

Why it matters for administrators

Reporting participation this way gives coaches a data-backed way to recognize top fundraisers and identify participants who may need encouragement to get started.
