Today Facebook announced that, on the charity platform alone, they have raised over $1 billion for nonprofit and personal causes. Being influenced and encouraged by this, Facebook has decided to bring nonprofit fundraising tools to Canada and Australia. Along with their partner PayPal, Facebook will be giving a huge donation of a total $7 million for all US-based nonprofit fundraisers. The collaboration with PayPal is for Giving Tuesday which is taking place on the upcoming 27th November 2018 on Facebook.

Fundraising ToolsFacebook introduced charitable giving tools in 2015 hoping to help and serve the community better. Since then, people have raised over $1 billion on Facebook through Facebook Fundraisers and Donate Buttons. Over 20 million people have used Facebook’s charitable tools and have either donated or started their own fundraisers using the tools provided by and available on Facebook. Facebook has been able to branch out of the US and now 19 countries have been involved in that scheme, that is to say, 19 counties now can receive donations directly through Facebook. It has been able to help Save the Children foundation, No Kid Hungry foundation, the Marine Mammal Center, the ASPCA, Stop Soldier Suicide, St. Jude and International Rescue Committee to name a few.
