All-or-Nothing only keeps funds if you hit the goal; Flexible keeps whatever is raised. The goal type locks once the first donation arrives.
Goal types
When you create a campaign you pick how funding behaves:
- All-or-Nothing — you keep the money only if you reach your goal by the deadline. If you fall short, donations are refunded. Best when a project needs full funding to happen at all.
- Flexible — you keep whatever is raised, goal met or not. Best for ongoing needs where every bit helps.
Important: the goal type locks
Once the first donation is received, the goal type can no longer be changed. This protects donors — someone who gave under All-or-Nothing rules can't have those rules switched on them later. Decide carefully before launching.
Setting the amount
Pick a realistic target that covers your actual need. You can show progress publicly to build momentum.
