Add ability to make private/anonymous donations

Nonprofits can give donors the option to make their donations anonymous to the public. The donor's information will still be recorded in the Nonprofit Admin Portal and available for export from Stripe.

For Core Profiles

1. Log in to the Nonprofit Admin Portal.
2. Under "Edit Your Nonprofit's Core Profile," click the "Basic Information" button.
3. Scroll down to "Allow donors to make donations private" and check the box.
4. Click "Save" at the bottom of the page.
5. You can follow the same process to uncheck the box at any time.

For Campaign Pages

1. Log in to the Nonprofit Admin Portal and click the “Campaign Pages” link in the left-hand navigation bar.
2. Select the Campaign Page on which you would like to add this ability. Be sure to look within the “Active” tab of current Campaign Pages. If needed, use the search tool to pull up results only within that tab. Search results will include the desired term, whether it is all or part of a word or phrase in the campaign name or slug.
3. Click the “Manage” button to the right of the Campaign Page link.
4. In the "Edit Campaign Page" section, click the "Campaign Name, Description, and Goal" link.
5. Scroll down to "Allow donors to make donations private" and check the box.
6. Click "Save" at the bottom of the page.
7. You can follow the same process to uncheck the box at any time.

Note: After downloading donor data as a CSV file from the Nonprofit Admin Portal, you will find a column labeled "private". Anonymous donations carry the signifier "true" and donations with an identified donor are "false".

A note about payment forms

We have officially transitioned only to our second-generation payment form on Core Profiles, Campaign Pages and Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Pages. Our Event Ticketing and Team Fundraising pages still use our first-generation payment form for now.

With this shift, donors see several new features, including the ability to make optional tips to Give Lively to further extend the reach and capacity of our free products and services for nonprofits.
