Posting a Fundraiser Update on GiveSendGo

Keeping supporters in the loop is part of what makes a fundraiser thrive. Updates show progress, build trust, and give givers a reason to stay engaged.

How to Post an Update

1. Log in to your GiveSendGo account
2. Go to My Fundraisers and click Manage on the fundraiser you want to post to
3. Click the Updates tab
4. Click New update at the top right. On an Updates tab with no updates yet, you can also click Write an update
5. Enter a title and message for your update
6. Add a photo (or upload a video from your device) if you'd like
7. Check Post to my fundraiser page, Share to social, or both to choose where your update goes
8. Click Post Update to publish

When Post to my fundraiser page is checked, your update will appear on your fundraiser page and be visible to anyone who visits. Givers who are following your fundraiser will also receive an email notification when the update is published. Post to my fundraiser page shows how many followers will be emailed.

When Share to social is checked, three cards open for X, Text message and WhatsApp. Each card starts with a suggested message written for that channel, and you can edit each message.

You can edit or delete a published update at any time. Go back to the Updates tab and use the Edit or Delete actions on the update you want to change.

Regular updates, even brief ones, remind supporters that their generosity is making a difference. See Sharing Your Fundraiser for tips on spreading the word when you post.
