Archive blocked by Make a Gift or backup-form assignment

If your goal is to stop a campaign from taking gifts while keeping its results page visible, end the campaign instead of changing this redirect or archiving the page. Set the campaign’s end date and time to now under Campaign Setup → Basics, then submit/save; in the newer interface use Details → Campaign dates → Campaign end → Update dates. Completion saves the final totals while preserving the results page. Changing the school’s “Make a Gift” destination only changes where that button sends donors; it does not close an active campaign or disable its own giving flow.

This article covers GiveCampus campaign administration. Available controls can vary between the classic and redesigned campaign interfaces.

A campaign/form used as the school's Make a Gift redirect target or Campaign Backup Form is locked against archive/draft changes. For a campaign, an administrator with Advanced Campaign Admin, Fundraising Superadmin or Superadmin and access to the campaign can open Landing Page, clear Redirect 'Make a gift' button to this campaign and save, including when that campaign has expired. Partners cannot enable this action individually inside another role. Then recheck Archive/Back to Draft. The separate Campaign Backup Form designation requires Support to review its replacement. Verify the school's public giving destination before retiring a page.
