How long will my tribute page be active?
Your tribute page will be on our platform indefinitely or until the fundraiser chooses to deactivate them or the organization chooses to deactivate it. While the page will remain on the site, a fundraiser end date is required when setting up a page. Our recommendation is to set the end date far into the future, at least one year, and update the date as necessary in order for donations to be made.
