After creating a campaign, you have a number of tools to share it with the world. This guide includes all of the options available. If you would like more information about any of these options, click the relevant link and you'll be taken to a more specific set of instructions. You can share a campaign from your dashboard, as well as from the public campaign page.

If you are an admin or editor on a campaign, you can find multiple sharing options in your Givebutter dashboard.

Can I disable the Share Campaign button on my campaign page?

Not at this time. Please take a look at the feature request to remove or customize the share button displayed on the public campaign page, and add a vote if this is a option you would like to use in the future!

Does Givebutter share my campaign for me? What about donor outreach?

The reach of your campaign relies on your own audience of contacts. We do not promote campaigns or manage outreach on your behalf.

I can't find my campaign when I search for it online!

If you're not able to locate your campaign when you search for it online, we would recommend customizing your SEO settings (make them specific!), and editing your campaign URL or title to be more easily searchable. A campaign can be hard to search for online if the information is vague or general in nature.

How do I share an auction page?

Auctions are always part of an overall campaign – the auction portion does not have its own share button. You can navigate to the Overview tab at the top of the campaign page, and use the Share Fundraiser button to share the entire campaign. Alternatively, you can copy and paste the direct auction page link and share this online. A direct auction page link is formatted like this: givebutter.com/c/campaignURL/auction
