FAQ about Grassroots Fundraising Q:  I accidentally created a grassroots fundraising page when I meant to create a fundraising page linked to an official event. Can you please move it over to the event? A : Yes! However, we cannot move fundraising pages from one official event to  another. Also, we cannot transfer donations, but we can refund all of the donations  made to the original page so that your donors can re-donate to the correct page. Q:  I set my fundraising page to stay active for six months, but I'm doing so well that I want to continue fundraising for another six months. Is it possible to extend my page? A:  Absolutely. Just email us at support@firstgiving.com -- make sure you include  the email address you use to log into FirstGiving (so that we can find your account/ page), as well as the date you would like to extend your page to. Q:  I finished fundraising early and cancelled my fundraising page. Will the donations made to my page still go to the nonprofit? A:  As long as your donors did not contact us with a refund request, then yes, the  donations made to your page will still be sent to the nonprofit even if your page has  been cancelled.
