Ever wanted to help raise money for Morris, but couldn’t figure out an efficient way? Do you prefer to use social media but haven’t quite figured out all the things you can do with it? Don’t worry! We’ve got your back.
We’ve created a helpful How-To guide with step-by-step images that show you how to create a fundraiser for Morris either on Facebook, or on Instagram. Follow the steps below, and you’ll be raising money in no time!
Option 1 – Facebook Mobile
If you’re using the Facebook app, the first step is to click “Post” at the top of the page. From there, it gives you several options of which format you’d like to post in. Scroll down and click “Raise Money.”
The next step is to choose the nonprofit you’d like to fundraise for. When you search “morris” we are one of the first options!
Then you can write more about the organization and the reason why you’re fundraising, add photos and videos, and hit Post!
When someone clicks “Donate,” they can choose the amount and the frequency that they’d like to contribute. Simple as that!
Option 2 – Facebook Desktop
If you’re using Facebook on a desktop computer or laptop, the process of creating a fundraiser is only slightly different. The first step is to click “Post” at the top of the page. Clicking the three little dots next to “add to your post” will expand the menu with more options.
From there, find the option that says “Raise money” and click that.
Type in “morris” and select our shelter from the dropdown list.
The bottom of your post should now have a banner that says “Raising money for Morris Animal Refuge.” When you hit Post, donations work the same way as on the app – when people click on the button, they will be asked to choose the amount they’d like to donate.
And you’re done! It’s as easy as that. People can share the fundraiser, and it can be pinned to your profile for greater visibility.
But if you’re more of an Instagram person, there is a simple way to fundraise using the app as well!
Option 3 – Instagram
Create a new post, choose the picture you’d like to use, and click “Add fundraiser.”
From there, search for Morris Animal Refuge and select it.
It will then give you an option to Edit the fundraiser, which will allow you to change the Donation amount you’d like to raise.
Once that’s done, hit “Done” at the top of the page, look over the post one more time to make sure the details are correct, and hit Post!
Fundraisers can be made at any time, for any occasion, and are a great way to help a good cause. We hope this guide helped you understand how to set one up through Facebook or Instagram, and if you start one, share it, tag us and let us know! Thank you for supporting Morris!
