How to Set Your GiveSendGo Fundraiser to Private

Set Your Fundraiser to Private

Some stories are meant for a specific circle, like family, close friends, or a tight-knit trusted community. Setting your fundraiser to private lets you share it only with the people you choose.

When a fundraiser is set to private it will not appear in GiveSendGo search results, category listings, or any public page. Only people with the direct fundraiser link can view it and donate.

This can be especially helpful for sensitive situations or when you prefer to share your fundraiser within a smaller circle.

Making Your Fundraiser Private

To set your fundraiser to private:
  1. Log into your GiveSendGo account
  2. Open your Fundraiser Dashboard
  3. Select Settings
  4. Scroll to Privacy Settings
  5. Toggle on Make my campaign private
  6. Click Update to confirm
To make your fundraiser public again, follow the same steps and toggle it off.

About Private Fundraisers

Anyone with the link can access the page, so be intentional about who you share it with. Givers can still donate to a private fundraiser — they just need the direct link to access it. Setting your fundraiser to private does not affect funds already raised.

To take your fundraiser fully offline rather than just private, see Publishing and Unpublishing Your Fundraiser.
