Campaign Donor Information Privacy and Visibility

GiveCampus protects donor privacy by limiting access to individual donor names and gift amounts on campaign pages. This guide explains what different users can see and how donor details are managed.

Quick answers

• Donor names appear on campaign pages, but individual gift amounts remain hidden.

• Only administrators with appropriate permissions can view detailed donor information in donation reports.

• To share donor details with campaign owners, administrators must generate and review a donation report.

• Leaderboards display aggregated totals by affiliation or designation, not individual amounts.

• Donors who choose anonymity have their names hidden from public campaign visitors and non-admin campaign owners. Authorized administrators can see the real name and the Anonymous preference in donation records.

What the public and campaign owners see

• Public visitors and non-admin campaign owners see donor names without the corresponding gift amounts.

• Campaign pages highlight overall totals—such as dollars raised and donor count—and provide leaderboard summaries that aggregate data rather than reveal individual contributions.

What administrators can see

• Administrators with the proper permissions can access detailed gift-level records through donation reports.

Public anonymity does not hide donor identity from administrators authorized to access donation reports. Review the donor’s anonymity preference before sharing or publishing any report.

Providing donor details to campaign owners

If a campaign owner needs gift-level details, an authorized administrator can review a donation report and share only the information appropriate for that person’s role and the donor’s privacy preference. Anonymous donors’ identities remain available in authorized administrative reporting.
