On your menu on the left side, if you see Meetings under Team Members, this means that your organization has not authorized Team Leaders to handle funding.

If you have a funding tab keep reading below.

If you have access to funding then you will have a funding tab and this is the screen you will see when you click on it. 

1. Unallocated Funds: these are donations that were made to the team as a whole and not to an individual team member. Depending on how your organization handles these funds you may need to assign them to a team member.
2. Remaining Funding Needed: the total amount your team has left to raise.
3. Total Trip Funding: A graphic to indicate the percentage of the funding total that your team has met.
4. Fully Funded Team Members: this graph will tell how many fully funding team members you have. This will allow you to walk alongside those who are behind in funding and help them catch up.
5. Donations Over Time: this graphic indicates when donations came in overtime. This can be useful if you did an email blast to potential donors or an event and the graph could show the success of that campaign.

The Meetings tab is where you create, schedule and manage your team trip meetings. To read more on this refer to the support document on Managing Trip Meetings.
