Facebook and Instagram Fundraising

Log in to your Facebook account and go to the left-hand toolbar and click "Create Fundraiser", or simply go to https://www.facebook.com/fundraisers.

Click “Select Nonprofit” and search or select National Psoriasis Foundation.

Determine your personal fundraising goal as well as an end date for your fundraiser. (For example, you could create a fundraiser that runs through your entire birthday month or the week of your birthday.) Give your fundraiser a catchy and descriptive title and use your summary to explain why you think your Facebook friends should donate. Share why finding supporting NPF matters to you, or information about how NPF is driving efforts to cure psoriatic disease and improve the lives of those affected.

Next, you will choose a cover image. A default image from our Facebook page will be selected. You can see other photo options or upload a photo of your own by clicking the button in the upper right corner of the default cover photo.

Once you have chosen a title, written a description, and picked out a cover image, click “Create” to make your fundraiser page available for everyone to see!

Use the search tool to search for the names of friends you think will support your cause. Inviting all of your friends to participate will maximize your outreach — and so will talking about your fundraiser! Post about your fundraiser on your Facebook and add a personalized note about why finding a cure is important to you. Increase visibility by emailing your contacts to notify them about your Facebook fundraiser, sharing the link to your fundraiser’s page, and asking them to contribute in your honor. You can also reach out to friends over Facebook messenger.

Sharing your fundraiser will encourage people to join your cause. Tell your friends how your fundraiser is going by posting about milestones along the way (Thank you! We have met 50% of our goal!”) You will receive a notification when donations and posts are made. Be sure to respond to any posts or comments and like and comment on people’s donation posts to thank them for their support.

If you need to edit anything, click “More” and then click “Edit Fundraiser.” You can also look here to end or delete your fundraiser.

You can create a fundraiser for a nonprofit organization from an Instagram post or story. The fundraiser will be visible in the post and you can find a link to the fundraiser in your bio. The fundraiser will be active for 30 days. You can extend the fundraiser duration or end it at any time.

If your profile is public, your fundraiser will be visible to anyone. If your profile is private, only people who follow you will be able to see and donate to your fundraiser.
