Fundraise for your Nonprofit on Facebook

Charitable giving

Raise money and awareness for your cause on Facebook.

To make it easier for you and your community to raise money on Facebook, we’ve built free tools to help you collect donations and enable supporters to fundraise for your charity.

Charities using Facebook’s payment platform to process donations pay no fee – 100 per cent of the donations go to the charity.

Collect donations on Facebook

Your charity can now raise money directly from your Facebook Page with our donate button and Page fundraisers.

Donate button
The donate button is a quick way for people to donate to your organisation without leaving Facebook. You’ll be able to add the donate button to your Page, posts and live videos, making it easy for supporters to contribute in just a few taps. Donors can now choose to give a one-off or monthly recurring gift.

Unique URL
Make it easy for supporters to find your organisation on Facebook. Every on-boarded charity has a custom link in the fundraisers section of their Page. When supporters click the link, they’ll be taken to a fundraiser creation for your charity. The link can be shared with supporters in email marketing and on social media as a way to encourage them to fundraise on your behalf.

You can find an approved organisation’s customised charity landing page by going to https://www.facebook.com/fund/alias. For example, Feeding America would go to: https://www.facebook.com/fund/FeedingAmerica/

Fundraise through Instagram

Use the donation sticker in Stories and the donate button in your business account to create a fundraiser, encouraging your supporters to donate to your cause directly on Instagram.
