Creating a Cause

Creating & Managing a Cause

Anyone can create a Cause on Giveth. Causes are permissionless, meaning users don’t need approval or prior experience. Only a clear vision and a small amount of GIV tokens is needed. Cause creators can add or remove projects at any time. This flexibility allows for dynamic curation and keeps Causes fresh, aligned, and impactful.

Launching a Cause

Managing a Cause

Cause creators retain full control over their Cause even after launch. From the My Causes dashboard, they can:
  • Edit Cause information
  • Add or remove projects
  • Deactivate the Cause, which disables new donations but continues distribution of remaining funds
