Pledge campaign start date: will past fund donations count, and is a joint donor checkbox needed on the commitment form?

Verified answer · Added May 5, 2026

Answer

Campaign date range controls which donations count toward progress; backdating to 2023 will pull in past donations. Joint donors are linked at the admin level in Giving — no checkbox is required on the commitment form, but a 'gives jointly with' field on physical pledge cards helps admins know to set it up.
