Facebook Fundraising
Facebook launched its charitable giving tools within the UK in November 2017. This allows people to donate to their chosen charity or start a fundraising page, directly through Facebook. One of the benefits of this is that it allows people to donate directly to their chosen charity without having to go to a third-party website.
How do I create a page?
You can either do that by using the create fundraiser page on Facebook or by following the steps below
- Log in to your Facebook account
- Click Fundraisers in the left-hand menu of your main news feed
- Click Select Charity – and select Diabetes UK
- Decide on how much money you’d like to try and raise
- Pick an end date for your fundraiser
- Give your fundraiser a title, such as ‘Hannah’s birthday fundraiser for Diabetes UK!’
- Tell your friends and family why you’ve chosen to support us
- Pick a cover photo – you can use one of ours or upload your own
- Click Create and invite your friends
All of the money raised for us through Facebook Fundraisers comes directly to the charity and helps to make a very real difference to those living with diabetes. Every penny you raise goes towards our care and support services, advice and guidance, and pioneering research.
