2. Share with friends: After setting up your fundraiser, share it on Facebook, Messenger, Email, and WhatsApp. Don’t hesitate to share it multiple times to ensure everyone has a chance to contribute.
3. Lead by example: Kickstart your fundraiser by making the first donation. Your contribution sets the tone for others.
4. Tell your story: Share why Brain Tumour Support is close to your heart and why support matters. Give donors a reason to contribute.
5. Keep everyone in the loop: Post occasional updates on your fundraiser’s progress. Celebrate milestones and remind donors of the approaching end date.
6. Express thanks: Thank everyone who donates. A simple thank you goes a long way in showing appreciation.

How to find your fundraiser on Facebook

You can find your fundraiser by selecting ‘Fundraisers’ in the left-hand menu of your newsfeed on Facebook.

How to see who has donated to your fundraiser

Select ‘Fundraisers’ in the left-hand menu of your newsfeed on Facebook to find your fundraiser for Brain Tumour Support. Once you select the fundraiser, you will be able to view who has donated.

Can you extend your Facebook fundraiser?

When you first create your Facebook fundraiser, it will close by default after 14 days. You can change this so it stays open for longer:

1. Select your fundraiser.
2. Click the three dots under your fundraiser cover photo to open settings.
3. Click ‘When should your fundraiser end?’
4. Choose which date you would like your fundraiser to end.
5. Click ‘Save’.

What happens when your Facebook fundraiser ends?

If your fundraiser is set to close after the default period (two weeks) then Facebook will send us your donations after it closes. If your fundraiser is longer than two weeks, Facebook will send us your donations every two weeks. You will receive a receipt from Facebook.
