About Payment & Reporting
When nonprofits in the US and Europe sign up to receive donations through Facebook Payments, they’ll get access to Facebook’s reporting tools, contact information for donors who opt-in to receive emails from your organization, and links to all of your Fundraisers on Facebook.
US: If you are a US-based 501(c)(3) organization and have not signed up through Facebook Payments, we will default to sending distributions through Network for Good’s Donor Advised Fund.
