Configuring your campaign: thermometer and public donor lists
Adding a Fundraising Thermometer
A fundraising thermometer shows your donors how close you are to achieving your goal. It appears on your campaign page and updates automatically as donations come in.
On Donation Forms
To add a thermometer to your donation form:
Go to Campaigns and click Edit next to your form.
In the Fundraising goal section, enter your target amount.
The thermometer will appear on your campaign page automatically.
To remove the thermometer, click the trash icon next to your fundraising goal in the form editor.
On Event and Raffle Forms
You can also add a thermometer to event and raffle forms — useful for 50/50 raffles where participants want to see the pot size.
On raffle forms, add your target from Advanced settings in the form editor:
Go to Campaigns and click Edit next to your form (or create a new form).
Go to Advanced settings in the top bar of the form editor.
Turn on the Sales target toggle and enter your target amount.
Click Save.
You can increase or edit your sales target at any time.
On event and raffle forms, there is no public donor list, only the thermometer. If your event has multiple dates, the thermometer uses a single target and a single total for the whole form, not one per date.
What the thermometer counts
The thermometer always tracks an amount raised in dollars. It can't count members, tickets or participants instead.
Raffle forms: the thermometer counts raffle ticket sales only. Additional donations made at checkout are processed and appear in your Payments, but they are not added to the thermometer or to the raffle total shown on the form. This can't be changed before or after launch. Your total raised is the ticket sales plus those additional donations.
Membership and donation forms: the goal is an amount in dollars, not a number of members. To share a member goal, write it and your current member count in the campaign description, and update it as members join.
Public Donor Lists
When you add a fundraising goal to a donation form, a thermometer appears. The public donor list is a separate option, "Display donor list publicly on my campaign", in the form's Advanced settings. A public donor list gives your campaign a public, community-driven feel, so check that this option is on if you want donors listed.
How to Hide the Donor List
If you prefer not to display donor names:
Go to Campaigns and click Edit next to your form.
Go to Advanced Settings.
Toggle off "Display donor list publicly on my campaign."
Once disabled, the donor list will no longer appear on your form.
Donor Privacy
Regardless of whether the donor list is displayed, donors always have the option to remain anonymous when completing their donation. Anonymous donations never display the donor's name publicly.
If a donor changes their mind after donating, you can hide or show their name yourself: open the donation from Payments and check or uncheck Display name publicly on campaign. Learn more: How to Make an Anonymous Donation.
Editing Your Goal
You can adjust your fundraising goal at any time:
Go to Campaigns and click Edit next to your form.
Go to Fundraising goal in the left-hand menu.
Update the amount or remove it using the trash icon.
