Fundraiser

Can I delete a fundraiser?

Yes, from the fundraiser's own page rather than from a list, as long as the fundraiser has no donations and no connected fundraisers.

Delete a fundraiser

  1. Open the fundraiser you want to delete.
  2. Find the Fundraiser Status card, next to Preview and the Public toggle.
  3. Click the red Delete button.
  4. Confirm in the dialog that appears.

The confirmation asks "Are you sure you want to delete this fundraiser permanently?" and warns that you will not be able to retrieve the data. That is accurate: deletion cannot be undone. After it completes you are returned to your dashboard.

There is no delete control in the fundraiser list. You have to open the fundraiser first.

When a fundraiser cannot be deleted

A fundraiser that has received a donation, or that has other fundraisers connected to it, cannot be deleted. Clicking Delete then shows "Fundraiser already has connected fundraisers and donations are live", and nothing is removed.

To take such a fundraiser out of sight, make it private instead. A private fundraiser still accepts donations through its direct link, so if it has to stop collecting altogether, contact support.
