Fundraise on Facebook

Have a birthday coming up soon maybe?

Why not celebrate your birthday or your achievements while raising vital funds for CBM Ireland? Creating a Facebook Fundraiser is a super-easy way to raise funds. Your friends, family and co‐workers can donate easily and securely right through Facebook, and the money is deposited right into the CBM Ireland bank account.

Not sure how to set up your fundraising event on Facebook? Follow the six easy steps below:

·         Simply follow the link -  Set up a fundraiser on Facebook

·         Select your chosen cause – we are listed as CBM Ireland.

·         On the left side choose how much you would like to raise.

·         Decide when you’d like your birthday to end (it will start as soon as you finish this process).

·         Add a description to your fundraiser to tell your story about why you’re organising a virtual event. It’s good to tell your story ‐ it shows your friends and family members that this means something to you and they’ll be more likely to give you a donation.

·         You can also add an image to your fundraiser to make it more personal and then click ‘create’.

We will help you along the way and make sure your donors know that you have our support.

Good luck and thank you!
