2. Create a Facebook Fundraiser

   Fundraising is the lifeblood of any non-profit organization, and building effective fundraising campaigns is critical to sustaining the work your organization does to better the world. With social media, you have the potential to reach and engage more supporters than ever before – and you can turn more of those supporters into donors by accepting donations directly through Facebook and Instagram.

   • Facebook fundraisers make it easy to support friends, family and the causes that are important to you such as:
   • No fees for donations to most nonprofit fundraisers and low fees for personal fundraisers
   • Over 1 million nonprofits on Facebook to support or raise money for a personal cause such as medical or education
   • Quickly spread your story to build momentum and raise more money
3. The Cooperate Matching Gift Programs
   • Corporate matching gifts are a type of philanthropy in which companies financially match donations that their employees make to nonprofit organizations.
   • When an employee makes a donation, they’ll request the matching gift from their employer, who then makes their own donation. Companies usually match donations at a 1:1 ratio, but some will match at a 2:1, 3:1, or even a 4:1 ratio.
   • Reach out to your respected employers’ benefit coordinator in Human Resources and inquire about the Corporate Matching Gift Program to match your donations to NABED
