Facebook Fundraiser benefits and features
- Currently, Facebook does not charge a fee to process a donation, so 100% of all amounts raised go to ALF!
- While “Birthday” fundraisers are the most popular (and Facebook starts to remind users that the feature is available one month prior to the day), a fundraiser can be created at any time, for any reason.
- Facebook Fundraisers are visible and searchable to the public.
- Changes in 2020 tax allow for a universal, “above the line” deduction for up to $300 of personal tax deductions!
How To Create a Facebook Fundraiser (It’s Easy!)
