How can I make my campaign page private?

Learn how to make your fundraising campaign private on givestar. This FAQ provides step-by-step instructions for both web browsers and the givestar mobile app

Setting your campaign to private hides it from public searches on the givestar website and app, but anyone with the campaign link can still access and support it. You can continue fundraising by sharing your campaign link with friends and family.
