This helps communicate trust and transparency to potential supporters.** **Trust and transparency are the two most important factors in raising funds online. Your beautiful face and the words you say directly to your supporters are paramount to this.** ### **Part 1: The personal message/Endorsement banner/That banner at the top of your campaign with your (or someone else’s) name**. The personal message is shared in a banner at the top of **any campaign you share from your user profile.** ![Screenshot of a campaign in public view.

In addition, we changed the default referrer banner behaviour. If somebody is not on a public campaign team but is an admin (e.g., of the organization or partner), the referrer banner will not appear when they share a campaign page link. ![](https://connectionpoint.com/help/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/unnamed-2025-01-31T130701.981.png) **Improved Endorsement Editing & Clearer Banner Context** We’ve made it easier to edit endorsements and improved the information displayed on the endorsement banner. You’ll now have a clearer view of what’s being endorsed and can easily make changes. ![](https://connectionpoint.com/help/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/image-11.png) **You can add a Personal message from under the Share tab in the navigation menu and then click "On" for the Endorsement Banner:** ![](https://connectionpoint.com/help/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/image-1024x655.png) **STEP 3 – Edit your message and individual goal for this campaign (YOUR goal, not a cumulative of every team member), and consider a video or picture.
