How do I extend my campaign after it ends?

Yes — you can reopen a campaign after its end date has passed. Use the Campaign Extension feature in your timeline settings: it puts your page into an "Extended" phase that accepts late donations until the date you choose.

Steps

1. Open your campaign and go to Settings → Timeline & Scheduling.
2. Turn on Enable Campaign Extension ("Allow late donations after the official end date").
3. Set the Extended Until date and time. It must be later than your campaign's end date.
4. (Optional) Check Show ticking countdown timer during extension to display a countdown on your public page.
5. Save. Your page immediately shows as extended and the donate button is active again.

A few things to know

• Both Campaign Admins and Managers can change timeline dates, so whoever runs the campaign day to day can set up the extension.
• If you'd rather extend before the deadline hits, you can also simply push the Campaign End date later in the same tab.
• Once the extended date passes, the campaign moves to its ended state again.

Tip: An extension window of 24–72 hours right after your deadline is a proven way to capture "I meant to give" donors — announce it by email and SMS the morning after. For how phases like Live, Extended, and Ended work, see Campaign statuses and lifecycle.
