To begin the process of deleting your campaign, follow these steps:

  •  

  • Go to the GoFundMe website (www.gofundme.com).

  •  

  • Log into your GoFundMe account using your email address and password.

 

2. Access Your Campaign Dashboard

 

Once you're logged in, navigate to your campaign's dashboard:

 

  • Click on your profile picture or name in the top right corner of the page.

  •  

  • Select "My Campaigns" from the dropdown menu. This will take you to a list of all the campaigns you've created.

 

3. Choose the Campaign to Delete

 

Locate the campaign you wish to delete from the list of your campaigns:

 

  • Click on the campaign's title to access its dashboard.

 

4. Edit Your Campaign

 

To delete your campaign, you'll need to edit it:

 

  • On the campaign dashboard, click on the "Edit" button, typically located near the campaign's title or at the top of the page.

 

5. Scroll Down to the "Basics" Section

 

Scroll down through the editing options until you find the "Basics" section. Here's what you need to do:

 

  • Locate the "Campaign Visibility" option.

  •  

  • Change the visibility from "Public" to "Private." This will hide your campaign from public view.

 

6. Save Your Changes

 

After changing the campaign's visibility to "Private," you need to save your edits:

 

  • Scroll to the bottom of the editing page.

  •  

  • Click the "Save" button to save your changes. This will update your campaign's visibility to private.

 

7. Delete the Campaign

 

Now that your campaign is set to private, it's time to delete it:

 

  • Scroll back up to the "Campaign Visibility" section.

  •  

  • Below the "Campaign Visibility" option, you'll find the "Delete Campaign" button. Click on it.

 

8. Confirm Deletion

 

GoFundMe will ask you to confirm the deletion of your campaign:

 

  • Carefully read the information provided about deleting your campaign.

  •  

  • If you're sure you want to proceed, click the "Yes, Delete Campaign" button.

 

9. Campaign Deleted

 

Once you've confirmed the deletion, your campaign will be permanently removed from GoFundMe. You'll receive a confirmation message, and the campaign will no longer be accessible.

 

Important Considerations:

 

  • Deleting a campaign is irreversible, and you won't be able to recover it once it's deleted.

  •  

  • If you've received donations, it's important to communicate with your donors about the campaign's deletion and any necessary refunds or adjustments.

  •  

  • Deleting a campaign does not affect your GoFundMe account; you can still use it to create new campaigns in the future.
