Toolkit

Facebook Fundraisers allow you to share your story and collect donations directly through Facebook while seamlessly syncing with your Fundraising Center. You can easily invite your Facebook friends to get involved, communicate with donors and see donations show up in real-time for a dynamic fundraising experience.

Starting a Facebook Fundraiser is easy, and it will automatically end when your event has completed fundraising for the year.

Set Up During Registration

• As you’re completing your event registration, click the “Connect Fundraiser to Facebook” button.

Set Up After Registration

• Log in to your Fundraising Center and click on the “Create a Facebook Fundraiser” link below your progress bar.

100% of donations raised via Facebook Fundraiser go toward your event fundraising goal.

Due to Facebook’s privacy policy, donors will show as “Facebook Fundraiser” on your donor honor roll. To see who donated, you can click on the receipt button for each donation or download an Excel list of your donors. You will also see who donated to you when you look at your fundraiser on Facebook.

Facebook Fundraisers can only accept U.S donations. For international donations, send your fundraising page link.

The DonorDrive app is a powerful tool to help you raise funds and awareness for a world free of MS. Download it today to let your passion shine by connecting with donors and easy-to-use fundraising tools from the palm of your hand.

How to Get Started

1. Install the App

• Search “DonorDrive app” through the Google Play or Apple App stores or click the icons above and tap download.
• Open the app and tap “GET STARTED”.
• Search for “MS” at the top search bar.

2. Track Your Physical Activity

As you get ready for your event, you can track your physical activity to build excitement and share progress.

Tap the “You” icon at the bottom of the app.

You’ll see your goal and current total activity, as well as your current streak and longest streak on your progress screen.

If you have an activity tracker:

• Provide authorization for the app to sync to your activity data. If you cannot sync all your activity data, go to your phone’s settings to allow full access.
• If your activity tracking device/app (like a Fitbit or Garmin) is connected to your Apple Health, Google Fit or Strava, your activity data will automatically upload into the app.

If you do not have an activity tracker:

• Go to your DonorDrive app, where you can manually record your activity by clicking the orange “Log Activity” button and then entering your distance in the first field. After you’ve entered your miles, select the date of the activity and enter a description. Tap “Save” and you will have logged your activity!
