Tips for Staying Safe While Crowdfunding on GiveSendGo

Staying Safe While Crowdfunding on GiveSendGo

At GiveSendGo, keeping you safe is one of our top priorities. We work hard to protect your account and information, but staying secure also means staying informed. Here are some simple tips to help you protect yourself and your campaign as you raise funds:

Stick to Official GiveSendGo Channels

We only use emails ending in @givesendgo.com or @givesendgo.info. If you get a message that looks suspicious or says it's from us but isn't from one of these domains, reach out to our support team before taking any action.

Be Careful with Offers to Promote Your Campaign

Some third parties may offer to “boost” your campaign visibility, oftentimes for a price. Be cautious of anything that sounds too good to be true, especially if it asks for an upfront fee.

Keep Your Personal Info Private

Never share your financial or personal details with people you don’t know. GiveSendGo will never ask you to provide private information outside our secure channels.

Trust Your Gut

If something doesn’t feel right, pause and verify. Our team is always here to help you double-check and stay safe.

Make Use of Our Help Center

We’ve packed our Help Center with useful tips and resources to guide you through your fundraising journey. It's a great place to find answers and learn how to make your campaign even more successful.
