#GivingTuesday: November 28
This year #GivingTuesday falls on November 28. In celebration, Facebook and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation are partnering once again on a national campaign to support nonprofits.
On #GivingTuesday, Facebook and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will be matching up to $2 million of funds raised on Facebook for U.S. nonprofits. Facebook is also waiving its fees for donations made to nonprofits on Facebook this #GivingTuesday.
Donations to nonprofits made through Facebook’s charitable giving tools on November 28 will be matched up to $50,000 per nonprofit or $1,000 per fundraiser or donate button, until the $2 million in matching funds run out. The match will begin at 8 a.m. EST (5 a.m. PST).
Facebook fees on donations to U.S.-based nonprofits will be waived from 12 a.m. EST on November 28, 2017, to 11:59 p.m. HST.
So remember, use the Facebook donate button on WiRED International’s Facebook page on November 28 to have your donation matched.
