Social fundraising

Social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram can set up fundraisers asking your friends and followers to donate to your chosen charity. This could be for a celebration such as a birthday or anniversary, in memory of a loved one, or if you're taking on a challenge.

How we receive your donation

We'll receive your donation as part of a monthly payment from Meta. We don't often get notified about who's raising money for us, so we'd love to hear from you if you've set up a fundraiser - drop us a DM with a link!
