Get authorized to run ads.

Social issues can cover a range of polarizing, politicized and sensitive topics. While we believe in freedom of expression, we also recognize the need to set guidelines for advertising that may influence people, actions and outcomes.

TO RUN ADS ABOUT SOCIAL ISSUES, ELECTIONS OR POLITICS, ADVERTISERS ARE REQUIRED TO:

Complete the authorizations process in the country where your nonprofit wants to run ads.
Prove who your organization is and where you are located.
Include verified “Paid for by” disclaimers in your ads to help us confirm the legitimacy of an organization and show people who’s behind the influential ads. We recommend sharing the disclaimers with authorized page admins. Learn more about managing disclaimers.

Please plan for at least 2 weeks prior to your campaign to get authorized and your disclaimers approved. Your documents will go through initial review within 48 hours, but can take longer for final approval. Disclaimers are reviewed within 24 hours but may take longer for final approval. Reviews for ads about social issues, elections or politics can take up to 72 hours.

All ads marked as ‘about social issues, elections or politics’ are entered into the Ad Library for seven years.

Boost a post to reach more people.

You can create an ad in Ads Manager, or by boosting a post. Boosted (or promoted) posts are ads you create from posts on your Facebook Page. Boosted posts show up as ads in your audience’s News Feed. They’re a good way to reach more people who are on Facebook but don’t currently follow your Page. Boosted posts can help you raise awareness about your cause, and motivate people to visit your Page and follow you, which in turn will help grow your community.

When you boost a post, you can choose the audience you want to see it, where you want to place it, the duration of your post, and how much you want to spend on it. If you want more options to customize an ad, it’s a good idea to create your ad through Ads Manager.

Assign Page roles to help you manage ads.

When you create a Page, you automatically become the Page's admin, which means you can change how it looks and publish content as the Page. You can add people to help manage your Page by assigning Page roles.

THERE ARE FIVE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ROLES FOR PEOPLE WHO MANAGE A PAGE:

Admin
Editor
Moderator
Advertiser
Analyst

There's no limit to the number of people who can have a role on a Page, however only an admin can assign and change roles by granting Page Permissions.

If you are using the new Pages experience, you can give Facebook access to New Pages or specific task access to people you trust. People can have Facebook access with full or partial control.

Please be aware that our Community Standards require that only authentic Facebook accounts are used to manage Pages.

Learn more about the different Page roles and how to add, remove and edit them for classic Pages and the new Pages experience.
