Live Video Donate Button

• Go live with your mobile phone
• This approach is best suited for shorter videos or personal moments.
• Use Facebook’s Live API. The Live API is best for larger events where you need more control over the experience. You’ll be able to bring in video from professional cameras, multi-camera setups and programmatic sources such as games or screencasts.

• Use your fundraiser description to share why you are fundraising for this particular cause, where the proceeds will go, and drive a sense of urgency to donate.
• Use a cover photo that illustrates your personal connection to the cause. The cover photo is the largest asset that will be displayed on your fundraiser, so ensure that it catches people’s attention right away.
• Incentivize giving. Reveal fundraising milestones, encourage your fans to share the fundraiser (even if they cannot donate themselves), and offer to match donations.
• Involve your audience! Interact with fans on your fundraising page. Say thanks early and often, and reveal the real-world impact that is made possible because of their generation donation.

• Call to action. Make it strong and state it often.
• Compelling copy. Be genuine, engaging, and specific about where funds will go.
• Powerful imagery. The right visuals are invaluable.
• Branded Content. Have media outlets, celebrities and influencers tag content that includes your brand or sponsorship. Learn more.

• Include the link to your fundraiser in any newsletters or email lists you may have.

During Your Fundraiser
