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

Give Lively has two generations of payment forms in use. Your choice of features will dictate which form appears. At present, the ability to make private/anonymous donations is supported by both generations of payment forms. Activation of this feature alongside the others on this list may trigger the second-generation payment form. Any combination of features beyond those detailed on the list will continue to see use of the first-generation form.

IMPORTANT: Both generations of payment forms guide donors through very similar giving experiences and there is no reason a nonprofit should favor one payment form over the other. Over the next few months, the new payment form will become the standard for all Give Lively donation pages. Learn more here.
