Your live video can be as long as 8 hours (for example if you’re broadcasting a live event) and will appear on your Facebook Page where your supporters and followers can see it. You can include a Donate button or link to your Nonprofit Page Fundraiser from your Facebook live video to raise money for your cause in real-time. Get creative and make your videos more fun and engaging with tools like filters, themes and effects.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO GO LIVE:
When you go live, a Donate button will be visible at the bottom of your video. This allows your viewers to donate directly from the video as they watch live, or after you’ve posted the video to your Page. People will also be able to see how much money has been raised.

You can also connect a live video to an existing nonprofit fundraiser to extend its reach. If you have created a fundraiser from your Page, you (or a public figure, brand or individual) can drive donations to that same fundraiser through Facebook Live. While open, the fundraiser total will appear in the live video.
