Facebook fundraisers

You can donate to St. Jude through Facebook several ways: 

• By giving to someone else's St. Jude fundraiser
• By creating your own fundraiser
• By giving directly via the St. Jude Facebook page

See Facebook's helpful steps in "How do I donate to a fundraiser or charitable organization on Facebook?"

• When someone donates to a charity on Facebook, the money will be distributed to the charity in a rolling two-week payout cycle. 
  • See Facebook's "How are donations made on Facebook distributed to nonprofits?"
• Facebook covers processing fees, so 100% of donations to St. Jude are sent to the organization.
  • See Facebook's "Are there fees for donations made on Facebook?"

There are several ways to create a fundraiser: 

• Read how to create a personal fundraiser or a fundraiser for a charity by following the directions in Facebook's "How do I start a fundraiser on Facebook?"
• You may have created a fundraising post by writing about St. Jude on your Facebook News Feed and then choosing to "Add a Donate Button" after posting.
• You can start a fundraiser by visiting https://www.facebook.com/pg/stjude/fundraisers/. 

• Go to https://www.facebook.com/fundraisers/manage to see your fundraisers.
• In Facebook, go to “Explore” (on the left-hand side of the screen if you're on a computer), and choose “Fundraisers.” Then, choose “Manage,” or look under your fundraiser shortcuts to see fundraisers you've created or donated to on Facebook.
• If your fundraiser has raised at least $50 USD or the equivalent, it will also show up on the St. Jude Facebook Page. See Facebook's "When does a supporter's fundraiser appear on a charity's Page?"

Yes! If you're already signed up for a St. Jude event, you can fundraise with Facebook by signing into your St. Jude fundraising center then connecting that campaign to Facebook. 

Find your St. Jude event page.

If for whatever reason you or someone you know needs a refund for a donation, please see Facebook's "How do I contact Facebook about my donation?" and fill out the linked form.
