Active Campaigns

  • These campaigns appear here under the "Active" tab of your Campaigns

  • Donors can give to these campaigns because they appear automatically in the drop-down menu of campaign choices for your donors to choose from (unless you have intentionally deselected that campaign from your giving forms here)
    ​

Ended Campaigns

  • These campaigns appear here under the "Ended" tab of your Campaigns

  • If you add an "End Date & Time" when creating your campaign (Advanced Options), the campaign will automatically be moved to the "Ended" tab in your Admin Dashboard but will still remain active & available to receive donations from donors

  • To ensure no new donors give to a campaign, archive it πŸ‘‡

  • Ended campaigns do not automatically archive or hide from public view

  • End Date & Time is used as a donor engagement strategy to proactively give by a certain date (ex: GivingTuesday is a time-sensitive campaign/appeal)
    ​


​

Archived Campaigns

  • These campaigns appear here under the "Archived" tab of your Campaigns

  • Archived campaigns are hidden from public view so no NEW donors/donations can be given to that campaign

  • If you archive a campaign and had monthly gifts established to that campaign, that campaign will continue to receive that donor's monthly gift until you or the donor proactively change that recurring gift to a different campaign

Any donors who accidentally click to give via a link of an archived campaign will be automatically invited to give to any other active campaigns you have instead
