Meta's fundraising tools have been a common way for charities to raise money in Europe. But soon the features will be turned off on Facebook and Instagram in many countries. What does that mean for fundraising in Europe?
Go to section:
As informed by Facebook Payments International Limited, "From July 1, 2024, fundraising tools will no longer be available on our platforms for any charities in the European Economic Area." This means that charitable organisations will no longer be able to collect donations using Meta's tools on Facebook or Instagram. This change, which follows the end of personal fundraising on Facebook and Instagram, has essentially ended the crowdfunding capabilities of leading social media platforms in Europe.

Donations for Your Organisation on 4fund.com
Facebook and Instagram offered interesting solutions for charity fundraising. Users of these platforms were able to create fundraisers on behalf of their favourite organisations. Nonprofits, on the other hand, could add a handy donation button to their profile.
However, from July 2024, these options will no longer be possible for charities in the European Economic Area. What alternative features does 4fund.com offer?
In addition to your Organisation having its fundraiser on our platform, 4fund.com, anyone can raise funds for your Organisation, providing even greater flexibility in arranging fundraising activities.
Moneyboxes
This feature is for communities that want to support a chosen cause together. Have you already set up a fundraiser for your Organisation? Now everyone can create a moneybox for your goal in just a few clicks!
Employees of a company, fans of a celebrity or people in a Facebook group can donate and see how much money they have raised together. All funds raised through the moneybox go into the main fundraising account. It's the easiest solution and doesn't even require verification!
Not only that! Soon, before July 2024, we will also introduce a new solution – fundraisers on your behalf, which will allow users to create not only moneyboxes for your campaigns but also entirely new fundraisers, with the funds going directly to your Organisation's account!
Widgets & Posters
A feature similar to the Facebook Donation Button, available on the 4fund.com platform, is the capability to generate a widget for a fundraiser or donation page. This widget can be embedded on your organization's official website or a partner site, providing a versatile means to raise funds across various online channels.
Thanks to the built-in features of 4fund.com, organisers and donors can generate a QR Code for their fundraising campaign, along with a poster containing essential information such as the fundraising goal, description, photo, and the aforementioned QR Code.
With these features, you can extend your donation campaign beyond the platform, reaching both online and offline audiences!
A New Stage in Online Fundraising
Every change is a bit of a challenge. Donations via Facebook and Instagram have been a convenient way of crowdfunding for many. However, as Meta has reported, the fundraising tool will soon be deactivated in most European countries. That's why we're committed to supporting you through these transitions.
We encourage you to take action now! Move your fundraisers to the 4fund.com platform and enjoy the convenience, effectiveness, and support of our team every step of the way.
