Note: This article is written for Giving Day hosts. If you are a participant or supporter of a Giving Day, this article may not pertain to your efforts.

You manage DNS management and coordinate with the GiveGab team to ensure the necessary DNS records are in place. You will retain ownership of your domain.

If you are a returning Giving Day participant, as long as the DNS record below has not been removed since your last event, we should be able to proceed without the changes described below. If you are unsure, please have your Project Manager confirm with the GiveGab tech team.

Prior to your site’s “go-live” date, we will need you to add the following DNS record: a CNAME for the desired domain or subdomain (e.g., givingday.university.edu, www.givingday.org) pointing to "givegab.map.fastly.net".

Please ensure your Project Manager has an up-to-date point of contact with access to your site’s DNS records before your Giving Day event.
