How to Set Your GiveSendGo Campaign to Private

Set Your Campaign to Private

Some stories are meant for a specific circle, like family, close friends, or a trusted community. Setting your campaign to private lets you share it only with the people you choose.
  1. It will not appear in GiveSendGo search results
  2. It will not appear in category listings
  3. Only people with the direct campaign link can view and donate
This can be especially helpful for sensitive situations or when you prefer to share your fundraiser within a smaller circle.

Making Your Campaign Private

  1. Log into your GiveSendGo account
  2. Open your Campaign Dashboard
  3. Click Manage Campaign to open your campaign settings
  4. Navigate to Privacy Settings
  5. Toggle the switch On

Once your campaign is set to private, only people with the campaign’s direct URL can access it. To make it public again, follow the same steps and toggle the switch to Off.

About Private Campaigns

  1. Private campaigns are still fully functional—givers can donate as long as they have the direct link
  2. Anyone with the URL can access the page, so be intentional about who you share it with
  3. Setting your campaign to private does not affect funds already raised
To take your campaign fully offline rather than just private, see Publishing and Unpublishing Your Campaign.
