An Organiser event page is used when your charity intends to:
- Receive donations designated for a specific program, project, or funding requirement (for example, your education program).
- Enable individuals to conduct fundraising activities for your charity through personal initiatives, such as celebrating a birthday or undertaking a personal challenge.
Important: Organiser event pages are not intended for fundraising associated with public events on GivenGain (such as the Boston Marathon). For such events, charities should refer to the Partner event page section.

A Partner event page is employed when individuals are fundraising for your charity as part of an organized event on GivenGain, such as a marathon, cycling race, or swim.
The event organiser establishes the event, adds the charity and participants create individual fundraising projects linked to your charity.
Key characteristics
A Partner event page:
A Partner event page:
- Is created and managed by an event organiser (such as a sporting event, company, or team).
- Cannot be edited by your charity.
- Is linked to your GivenGain charity profile.
- May permit fundraisers to select your charity when creating their fundraising project if the event supports fundraising for any charity.
Event page lifecycle
Fundraising deadline
Once an event reaches its fundraising end date (typically one month following the event's conclusion), the Start Fundraising button is removed.
This action prevents the creation of new fundraising projects, while existing fundraising projects remain accessible for donations.
Archived events
When:
- an Organiser event is archived by your charity, or
- a Partner event is archived by the event organiser,
the Give button is removed from the event page, thereby preventing any new donations. Additionally, any fundraising projects associated with that event are automatically archived, and their respective Give buttons are disabled.
