How to Activate Social Fundraising with Instagram & Facebook on GivenGain

GivenGain now integrates with Meta's social fundraising tools. This allows fundraisers to 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.

Requirements:

• Facebook Page: Your nonprofit organization must have an official Facebook Page.
  
• Meta Fundraising Tools: Your organization must be onboarded with Meta’s (Facebook's) fundraising tools.
  
  • 👉 Sign up here

Step 2: Enable Meta Sharing on GivenGain
