# What is the difference between a sub-campaign goal and the main campaign goal?

### Main Campaign Goal

The **main campaign goal** is the overarching amount you'd like to raise for the whole project, which is set during the campaign signup flow.

**If you need to change the Main campaign goal, [read how here.](http://connectionpoint.com/help/docs/how-to-modify-a-campaign-goal-or-launch-end-date)**

Your main campaign goal may be an accumulation of the sub-campaign goals—this is called an **aggregate goal.** 

**NOTE:**This is not recommended for campaigns where outside fundraisers may choose their sub-campaign goal (such as Peer-to-peer or DIY layouts in FundRazr, CoCoPay, and PetFundr). All it takes is for one cheeky person to say they’d like to raise $50 million, and then your main campaign’s viability will look a bit… off.  Unless they do raise you $50 million… in which case our founder, Daryl, will shave his head and dye his scalp purple. 

**You may turn this on by going to 'Sub-campaigns' and then 'Sub-campaign settings' in your main campaign:**

**Then, toggle 'Show aggregate goal on the main campaign?' to Yes.**

### **Sub-campaign goal**

The **sub-campaign goal** is the amount to be raised for that sub-campaign only, and each sub-campaign may have a different goal. If you have a use case for that, the sub-campaign goal may even be higher than the main campaign goal.

This goal can be set manually or influenced by the team members' goals. [Read this article for more info on how team member goals influence sub-campaign goals.](https://connectionpoint.com/help/docs/what-is-the-difference-between-a-sub-campaign-goal-and-the-team-member-goal/)
