You may see suggestions for creating a charity fundraiser from us on your birthday.
We choose which fundraisers to suggest to you based on how much support the charity gets on Facebook and fundraisers you've shown interest in the past.
Create your birthday fundraiser
When you start a charity fundraiser on Facebook, we cover all processing fees for donations.
Note: If you've blocked the Meta Page, then you won't see the Meta donation on your fundraiser. The donation will still be made.
  1. On your computer, log in to Facebook.
  2. In the promotion in your Feed, either:
    • Select one of the charities that we've suggested
    • Type in the search bar to find a charity
  3. Select the charity that you want to raise money for.
  4. Under "Let's start with the basics", enter:
    • The name of the charity that you're raising money for
    • How much you want to raise
    • The currency that you want donations to be in
    • The date that you want the fundraiser to end
  5. Click Next.
  6. Under "Tell your story", enter:
    • A title for your fundraiser
    • A brief explanation for why you wanted to create this fundraiser
  7. Click Next.
  8. Under "Pick a cover photo", choose one of the suggested photos.
  9. Click Create.
A message will pop up that congratulates you on creating your fundraiser. From there, you can invite your friends to donate, share your fundraiser in your Feed or donate to the fundraiser yourself.
If you aren't ready to do any of these things, in the top right, click .
