What directors control

Everything that matters for the program

The director role is the admin role. You own the organization, the Stripe connection, the campaign lifecycle, and the reporting.

Organization setup and Stripe connection

Create the organization, verify your EIN, and connect your bank account through Stripe. Payouts go directly to your organization.

Campaign creation and approval

Create campaigns with goals, stories, and branding. Control when campaigns go live and when they close.

Coach and admin permissions

Invite coaches to manage their own team rosters. Admins see the full dashboard. Coaches see only their team.

Reporting and exports

View donations, store sales, and pledge results in one dashboard. Export to Excel or CSV with EIN context for your treasurer.

Refund management

Process full or partial refunds from the admin dashboard. Stripe handles the actual reversal.

Fee policy control

The platform uses a standard 5% donor-paid fee plus card processing. Directors do not need to negotiate or explain custom fee structures.

What coaches control

Roster and participation — nothing else

Coaches handle the team. They do not see financial details, payout settings, or other teams' data.

Director FAQ

Common questions from directors and program admins

How are payouts handled?

All revenue flows through your connected Stripe account. Payouts follow Stripe's standard schedule, typically 2 business days. HometownLift never holds funds.

Can I run multiple campaigns and stores?

Yes. Each campaign and store gets its own page, roster, and reporting. Run seasonal campaigns, special events, or multiple programs simultaneously from one dashboard.

Who controls permissions?

Directors control organization-level settings, leader invites, and campaign visibility. Leaders manage their own group rosters and participant invites within their assigned campaigns.
