How to Donate Anonymously on GiveSendGo

Anonymous Donations and Your Privacy

GiveSendGo believes in generosity without pressure, and that includes the freedom to give privately. If you'd like to donate without disclosing your name publicly, you can do so anonymously.

How to Donate Anonymously

On the donation form, check the box labeled Hide My Name from Public View. Your donation will then appear on the fundraiser page as Anonymous Giver.

You can also use the Show Donation Name As field to display a custom name instead of your real name, without appearing as Anonymous Giver.

What Fundraiser Organizers Can Still See

Donating anonymously hides your name from public view, but the fundraiser organizer and recipient can still see your name and email address in their Donations tab. This allows them to send receipts and thank-you messages to the right person. Your anonymity preference only controls what appears publicly on the fundraiser page. It does not remove your information from the fundraiser organizer's records.

Updating Your Anonymity After Donating

Changed your mind after giving? You can update your anonymity preference, display name, or donation comment using the Edit Your Donation link in your receipt email.

See Edit Your Name, Comment, or Anonymity After Giving for full instructions.
