When two is better than one: Introducing Team Co-Captains

Updated October 4, 2025

Some teams are just too powerful for a single captain, and peer-to-peer fundraising is no different.

Until now, raisin supported one captain per peer-to-peer fundraising team. But, for many teams, two or more captains is better than one. After all, sharing leadership, maintaining momentum, and inspiring others is what teamwork's all about – especially in peer-to-peer fundraising.

That's why we're introducing Team Co-Captains. Now your best fundraising teams can have multiple leaders championing your cause.

Some teams are just too powerful for a single leader, and peer-to-peer fundraising is no different.

Team captains help spearhead your peer-to-peer fundraising efforts, creating a sense of shared purpose among the friends, family and colleagues that they’ve welcomed to your cause, and set an example for others on how to fundraise.

In raisin, Peer-to-Peer events support teams, team of teams, member management, team page personalization, team tagging, team leaderboards and more. By default, there’s been a maximum of one captain per P2P fundraising team (Note: it is possible for a team to have no captains).

But, like so many things in life, for some teams, two – or more – captains is better than one, and helps to amplify the fundraising efforts of the team in their community.

That’s why we’re introducing Team Co-Captains.

Now, your peer-to-peer fundraising teams can have multiple leaders championing your cause. Because when great leaders join forces, amazing things happen.

Oh, and they can demote, too.*

Elevate team leadership

Once promoted to captain status, Co-Captains get full captain powers. They’ll update team pages, track progress, receive captain notifications and thank team donors.

Be they family members, sports teammates or office pals, with multiple captains at the helm, your peer-to-peer fundraising teams move faster and achieve more… and your events team does, too.

Spotlight and celebrate your champions

Co-Captains earn coveted “Team Captain” badges and stand out on their team’s fundraising page. Nothing builds pride or momentum like publicly celebrating those who step up to lead – it’s the badge of honour that shows the whole community who’s committed to your cause.

How it works

Promoting Co-Captains is simple.

With the flip of a switch in your Peer-to-Peer fundraising campaigns on raisin, existing team captains have the ability to designate teammates as Co-Captains directly from their Fundraising Portal.

Just the same, your fundraising event staff can promote any event participant to become a Co-Captain directly from the team management interface. There’s no limit to how many Co-Captains a team can have – whether it’s two, three, or more – the team decides what works best for their fundraising.

All Co-Captains have equal access to:

Team page editing and personalization
Member management and communications
Donation tracking and team donor thank-you messages
Captain-specific notifications and updates

Co-Captains appear with their Captain fundraising badge on the team fundraising page.
