What is Facebook Fundraising?
Facebook fundraising allows people to donate to their chosen charity or start a fundraising page, directly through Facebook.
People can donate directly to their chosen charity without having to go to a third-party website.
How do I share my Facebook Fundraising page?
To share a post or donation, click the pink 'Share' icon in the bottom right corner followed by the Facebook icon.
Sharing your page along with updates is a great way to encourage donations.
Will the MND Association receive all the money that I raise on Facebook?
Like many other fundraising platforms, Facebook do charge a small fee to use their service which allows fundraising challenges like this to be easily created and shared to support the fight against MND.
