Facebook donations

With more than 3 billion active monthly users, 65% of whom log on daily, Facebook remains a popular social media platform for nonprofits.

Givebutter’s Facebook integration makes it even easier to capture that engagement—delivering faster payouts, more payment options, and full access to donor data so your organization can raise more and connect more deeply with supporters.

Before you begin

To use this integration, your nonprofit must be verified on Givebutter and approved for Meta’s fundraising tools. You’ll also need a Facebook page to share your campaigns.

It’s a one-time setup, and once approved, every Givebutter campaign link you share on Facebook will automatically display a donate button, campaign image, and progress bar.

FAQs about donations on Facebook

How to ask for a donation on Facebook?

The best way to ask for donations on Facebook is to share the link to your verified Givebutter fundraising campaign, which turns your post into an eye-catching call to action that invites your supporters to give on the spot. Just make sure to apply for Facebook fundraising tools first! 

Can you see who donated on Facebook?

If you add a donate button to your Facebook page or create a Facebook fundraiser within the platform, you won’t necessarily be able to see who donated or get their contact information to say thank you and grow your connection. With Givebutter, on the other hand, every Facebook donation lands right in your CRM for easy follow-up and stewardship. 

Does Facebook match donations?

No, Facebook does not match donations, but Givebutter’s matching gifts software offers a free solution for showcasing donation matches. Our integration with Double the Donation also makes it easy for donors to find corporate matching gift opportunities right in the transaction flow.

Does Facebook take a percentage of donations?

When you use Givebutter’s Facebook integration, donations are processed just like any other gift on Givebutter. With optional donor tips enabled, the Givebutter Guarantee ensures you keep 100% of the funds you raise—zero platform fees and zero processing fees. 

Are Facebook donations safe?

Facebook donations, whether processed directly through the PayPal Giving Fund or via Givebutter, are safe, the latter backed by our secure payment processor, Stripe.
