Getting started with your Charity Admin dashboard

This article is for charity admin users only. You'll need to have been added as an admin on your charity's givestar account to access Everything charity admins need to manage their givestar account, track donations and run reports.

Logging in to Charity Admin

  1. Sign in with the email address and password for your givestar.io account

  2. You’ll land on the Homepage dashboard

The first time you log in, you may see a notification banner at the top of the page with important platform updates. Once you’ve read it, you can dismiss it.

Don’t have a givestar.io account yet?

You’ll need a givestar.io account before you can be added as an admin for your charity.

  1. Create an account at givestar.io. See How to create a givestar account for help.

  2. Email support@givestar.io with your name, the email address you signed up with, and your charity’s name. Ask us to add you as an admin.

  3. Once you’ve been added, log in at charityadmin.givestar.io using your givestar.io details.

What's on the homepage?

Your homepage gives you a quick snapshot of your donations. You’ll find:

  • Snapshot figures — your gross donations, Gift Aid to be claimed, number of donations and the number of fundraising pages they came from, for the selected period

  • Date range filter — choose the period every figure on the page covers

  • Top fundraising pages — the pages raising the most for your charity in that period

  • Recent donations — the latest donations made to your charity

  • Gross donations by month — a graph of your total donations for each month

How to change the date range

  1. Select the date range filter at the top of the homepage

  2. Choose your start and end dates

  3. The snapshot figures, lists and graph will update to show only that period
