This integration lets fundraisers share their GivenGain campaigns directly on Instagram and Facebook, making it easier to reach new donors. With a single tap, fundraisers can:
- Share to Instagram (mobile): add the campaign to their profile and post Stories with a Donate button.
- Post to Facebook: include a Donate button automatically and show real-time funds raised.
This guide walks you through how to enable Meta sharing for your nonprofit in just a few easy steps.
Step 1: Get Your Charity Approved for Meta Fundraising Tools
Before you can use the Meta sharing integration on GivenGain, your nonprofit must meet Meta’s eligibility requirements.
- Facebook Page: your nonprofit must have an official Facebook Page.
- Meta fundraising tools: your organization must be onboarded with Meta’s (Facebook’s) fundraising tools.
For Instagram, make sure your account is a professional account (Business or Creator), and that it is linked to your nonprofit’s Facebook Page. Once you have submitted the application, Meta will be in touch. Only once your charity has been approved by Meta can you move on to Step 2.
Step 2: Enable Meta Sharing on GivenGain
Once you’ve completed the Meta onboarding, it’s time to turn on the integration on your GivenGain account.
- Visit the Meta Sharing integration page on GivenGain.
- Search for your charity by entering your Tax ID. If your organization is eligible and onboarded with Meta, it will appear in the search results.
- Follow the prompts to activate the integration for your charity.
Once enabled, your fundraisers will see new sharing options directly on their campaign pages.
Pro Tip: Let Your Fundraisers Know
Your community won’t know about this new feature unless you tell them. Share a quick message via email or social media letting them know they can now share their fundraising campaigns directly to Instagram and Facebook, with a Donate button and real-time totals, and encourage them to try it in their next campaign.
