Every Appeal belongs to a Campaign and can have multiple related Packages. An Appeal represents a delivery mechanism of solicitations within a Campaign. Events, email, and direct mail are typical ways you ask for donations. The PowerWorker Engage solution uses the hierarchy of Campaigns, Appeals, and Packages to create reports and display summary data for fundraising, as depicted in the following image. To work with Appeals, select Fundraising on the Change area menu. Then, under Manage Campaigns, select Appeals. ## Create a new appeal To create a new Appeal, add an Appeal record: 1. Select **Fundraising** from the Change area menu. 2. Under Manage Campaigns, select **Appeals**. 3. In the action pane, click on **New**. 4. Complete the fields in the General tab, and then click on **Save** on the action pane. ### General tab ![](https://cdn.document360.io/7abff6c0-4eeb-4bb0-a6a4-8718bf640435/Images/Documentation/image(277).png) 1. **Appeal Name**: Title for the new Appeal record. 2. **Campaign**: The parent Campaign for this appeal.
