Facebook Fundraising tips
Change your end date
Dec 8th
Make sure the end date of your fundraiser is set to Dec 8th – Fundraisers on Facebook are automatically set to end after 2 weeks unless you edit the end date!
These few extra days also gives you time to get those last few donations from friends and family after you’ve completed your squats. Watch a short video with the steps here.
Steps:
- Click “Edit” or “More” or “Edit Goal” near the top of your Facebook Fundraising page under the main image and headline
- Select “Edit Fundraiser”
- Scroll down to the box that says “Set the end date”
- Select Dec 8th
- Click Save
Pick an interesting cover photo
Update your fundraisers’ cover photo to the 2,000 squats in November image at the top of the Facebook group, and the Barnardos Facebook page, or upload one of your own!
If you go to “Edit fundraiser” like above, and on the image click “Edit”, you can select from options of photos from the Barnardos Ireland Facebook page.
Use “2,000 Squats in November” in the title
Include the challenge title in your fundraiser’s name. e.g. “I’m doing 2,000 Squats in November for Barnardos”. You can change this in the “Edit Fundraiser” section of your fundraiser.
Make it personal
Tell people why you are doing this challenge for Barnardos. Why is this important to you? You might find some inspiration for what to say on our website.
You can personalise the description on your fundraiser by going to the “Edit Fundraiser” section.
Sharing your fundraiser
Facebook isn’t the only place to share your fundraiser so be sure to copy the link to your fundraising page and share it by text, WhatsApp, email or any other social media platforms you are on. And don’t be shy about asking for support. What you’re doing is a big deal!
Encourage family, friends and colleagues to sponsor your efforts but if they can’t donate, ask them to help you spread the word.
