Please feel free to share any of your online giving links, QR codes, or Flyers publicly! They are meant to be shared so that even folks who have not yet joined your network can start giving easily. Please note that if you are logged in or have given before using the same device, it may recognize you and auto-fill your information when you visit these pages yourself. Rest assured, you can still share them publicly; each person who views the page will have their own information generated – your personal information will not be shared.
