Here’s everything you need to know about the process before submitting your request.

For Campaign Organizers:
If you're the campaign owner and want to change the campaign created by name on the campaign, you can do this yourself. There's no need to reach out to us—just follow our guide on how to edit your campaign.
For Business Recipients:
When adding a recipient, be sure to select Business/Organization as
the recipient type. Doing so means the business name will appear as the campaign funds will be received by name on your campaign page, so you won't need to request a change.
