Changing the Recipient Name

Modified on Wed, Jun 26 at 11:53 AM

If you need to change the displayed recipient name on your campaign, follow the steps outlined below. Please note that business recipients (Type: Business) do not need to change the recipient's displayed name.

Note for Business Recipients

When adding a recipient, the campaign owner should choose Type: Business. The business name or DBA (if applicable) will be displayed automatically. If you have already added a recipient as an individual and need to change it to a business, please contact us at support@givesendgo.com from the email address associated with your account to reset the recipient information.

Note for Campaign Owners (Organizers)

Campaign owners can edit their displayed name directly in the campaign dashboard. To do this:

  1. Sign in to your account.

  2. Go to Manage Campaign.

  3. Select Campaign Edit.

  4. Update the Created By name.

This feature allows campaign owners (organizers) to control how their name appears on the campaign without needing a display name change for the organizer's name.
