We’re big fans of thanking Facebook fundraisers. After all, they’ve taken on a challenge or donated their birthday so it’s only right and proper to thank them.
We spoke to Trude about how Facebook fundraising is helping them to raise vital funds for their work.
If you’re not an Excel wizard, we know that trying to make sense of your Facebook Fundraising transaction reports can be hard.
That’s why we built GivePanel.
Harry is our rockstar sales and marketing manager.
Here he shares his recent experience of running a Facebook Fundraiser.

We’ve had a VERY busy few months here at GivePanel. Listening to feedback from our Beta partners and working hard on refining and improving the platform.
There is one core feature nonprofits really want from the Facebook fundraising tools and that is that nonprofits want to be notified when someone sets up a new fundraiser for them.
For many of our GivePanel customers, Birthday fundraisers are generating over 90% of their income from Facebook.
So an obvious question to ask from the get-go is:
“How do I get more people to set up a Birthday Fundraiser for us?”
There is much excitement about Instagram Donate! The Instagram Donation Sticker for Stories is now available in the US and here at GivePanel we are super excited about it.
If you haven’t started using it yet, or you’re based outside of the US you’ll want to start preparing to use this amazing feature.
Are you harnessing the power of Facebook’s Giving Tools yet?
No doubt, if you’ve switched them on, you’ll have noticed people have started setting up fundraisers for your cause, without much prompting from you.
(Although here’s five ways to market them!).
Sands is the stillbirth and neonatal death charity. They operate throughout the UK and support anyone who has been affected by
the death of a baby, working to improve the care bereaved parents receive.
Carla Ankiah is Head of Fundraising, Partnerships and Supporter Relations at Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland. At Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland, we switched on our Facebook Giving Tools back in March 2018.
Experience tells us that if you can reach fundraisers earlier in their fundraising journey to engage them, they will raise more. But with Facebook Giving Tools you don’t get notified when someone starts a fundraiser for your nonprofit.
Facebook’s Giving Tools have raised $1 billion for good causes around the world! One of the most popular ways to fundraise on Facebook is by donating your birthday.
You’d be forgiven for thinking that because you have a Donate button on your Facebook Page, this means that you also have Facebook’s Giving Tools. This isn’t the case.
