CAN you hide the goal, funds raised, and other stats? Yes.
SHOULD you?
Let’s discuss…
We’ll go over how you can do this; then, we can chat about why it’s important to show these stats for your campaign.
STEP 1 – Click ‘Edit’ in your campaign’s sidebar menu.
STEP 2: Click ‘Privacy’ in the sidebar menu, then scroll down to see the ‘Campaign Stats’ feature. Click ‘Hide.’
STEP 3: Preview your changes first if you like, then ‘Save’ (upper right corner).
Now it’s time to chat about hiding your funds raised!
Campaign stats are handy features to help psychologically encourage contributions. If a supporter does not see a goal or amount raised to that goal, or a deadline, they may wonder about the feasibility of your campaign. Even if they trust your organization, this extra transparency can significantly affect your success.
There are legitimate reasons to hide stats… perhaps this is a long, ongoing campaign for operational costs, and you are using your campaign as a landing page for general or recurring donations. However, in that case, we suggest using the Donation Form layout instead of a Standard one, as it automatically hides campaign stats and is a much more effective template.
