The Global Good Fund identifies and invests in the most innovative social entrepreneurs.
I’m trying to raise $500 by #GivingTuesday. Global Good Fund’s Fellowship is critical for social entrepreneurs, if we want to change the world for good. Every dollar raised will enable GGF to support more changemakers solving our world’s most pressing social issues; from health to education, climate action to financial inclusion, your contribution will ensure another impact focused entrepreneur has the leadership skills, network and capital needed to change the world for good.
6. CHOOSE A COVER IMAGE FOR YOUR FUNDRAISER.
On the cover image selection page you will see photo options from The Global Good Fund’s Facebook album. To upload our cover photo, click “EDIT”in the right corner of the default cover photo, then select “UPLOAD NEW PHOTO,” and choose our #DonateSmall image from your files. Once you’ve uploaded our provided cover image, click “CREATE” to make your fundraiser’s page available for everyone to see!
7. SPREAD THE WORD!
Inviting all of your friends to participate in your Fundraiser will maximize your results! You can take an extra step 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 message. These steps will help increase your fundraiser’s visibility – and attract more donors.
8. NOTES ABOUT PRIVACY & SECURITY
– Fundraisers can only be created by Facebook users who are 18 years of age or older.
– When you donate to a fundraiser, the charitable organization to which you are donating and the creator of the fundraiser will be able to see your donation. However, the amount you donate will never be shared on Facebook.
– Donations made through Facebook to The Global Good Fund national are tax deductible, though tax laws vary by state and by country.
– The way Facebook designed the fundraiser function, only individuals can currently create a fundraiser and those gifts are for The Global Good Fund. However, engaging with your branch members on social media and using Facebook to promote other fundraising strategies is always a good idea.
– After you make a donation, a confirmation email from Facebook will be sent to the primary email address listed for your Facebook account. This confirmation shows that you’ve made this donation as a charitable contribution and that you are not receiving any goods or services in return.
– Donations to U.S.-based charitable organizations made through Facebook are assessed a 5 percent fee. Two percent covers costs of nonprofit vetting, fraud prevention, operational costs, and payment support. The remaining 3 percent covers payment processing.
