Campaign Name Change

Changing a campaign name changes its long page URL. The permalink is the full page address containing the campaign’s name. Old links using that address will no longer work after it changes. GiveCampus short sharing links, such as https://www.givecampus.com/s/UNIQUE-ID, keep the same short address and are updated to point to the renamed campaign. Update long links in your website or messages, and test a sample short link after saving.

How to Change Your Campaign Name

You can change the name of your campaign from the:

Online Giving > Campaign Setup > Basics

Find the Campaign Name field
Check the box: "I understand that changing the campaign name while the campaign is live will also change the URL and all previous URLs shared will no longer work."
Once you click the box next to that acknowledgement, you can change the name of your campaign
Make sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page and click "Update Campaign" to save your changes

How to Reopen a Closed Campaign

If you need to reopen a closed campaign:

Go to the 'Basics' tab in the campaign settings
Send the campaign back to draft
Once it's in draft, you can select an updated date by editing the 'End Date' field on the "Basics" tab
Important: Make sure you update the End Date field to a date in the future

Note: If the campaign immediately completes on relaunch, it's generally because the end date field wasn't correctly updated. Updating the 'soft launch', 'launch', or prelaunch page dates will not reopen the campaign!

Post-Campaign Options

When a campaign ends, a link automatically shows up on the campaign page to guide donors to the campaign backup form. This cannot be customized per-form or set to an external page.

Available Redirect Options

Default: The redirect goes to the campaign's backup form
Custom GiveCampus Form: You can set any GiveCampus giving form as your backup form instead

Alternative Approaches for Post-Campaign Giving

If you need more control over post-campaign giving:

Update the About Section: Modify your campaign's about section to direct visitors to a specific giving form with tracking links
