Custom URL

Custom (Vanity) URL

If you are using a stand alone fundraising page - one that opens in its own window or tab, then a vanity URL is for you. A vanity URL assigns your charity name and campaign name to the URL (aka link) you use for your donation page. This makes it perfect for social media posts.

For your main donation page, you will want to use some version of your charity's name, like https://givedirect.org/mycharityname.

Then, additional campaigns or events will use your charity name plus a keyword, like https://givedirect.org/mycharityname/myevent.

How do I get a custom URL?

In your GiveDirect control panel, go to Fundraising Forms and open the Form Builder page for the form you are requesting.

In the links at the top of the Form Builder page, click 'Request A Custom URL'.

In the pop-up window, enter the keyword you'd like to use for the custom URL and click Submit.

You will see a success message indicating that the request has been sent. A GiveDirect team member will create the custom URL and will send you an email to confirm when it is ready.
