Pricing
Over the past year, GoodChange has added dozens of powerful new features like split fundraising forms, embeddable donation forms, advanced payout controls, and more. Our new plans ensure you get exactly the tools and level of support your campaign, organization, or firm needs—without paying for things you don’t.FeaturedWhat Does "Private" Mean on the Donation Form?
When making a donation, donors have the option to mark their contribution as Private. This means their name won't appear publicly on the campaign's page — but the campaign still receives all the necessary information for compliance and reporting purposes. Donors who choose to stay private will appear as "Anonymous" on public-facing fundraiser pages. This is separate from reporting — campaigns always receive full donor details regardless of the privacy setting.

Using URL Parameters to Pre-Configure Donation Buttons: using-url-parameters

By appending parameters to any fundraiser link, you can pre-select a donation type, set a default amount, and pass tracking codes — all without making the donor change anything on the form. This is especially useful for embedding anchor buttons on websites, email blasts, text messages, and digital ads where you want donors to land on a form that's already set up the way you want.
