Thank you for supporting AFSC! Facebook fundraising is an easy way for your friends and family to donate directly to AFSC. All you need to do it click on this link and follow the step by step guide.
Here are a few tips to make your fundraiser a success:
1. Choose an amount to fundraise. You know your friends and family better than we do, so be thoughtful and create a goal that is both meaningful to you and one you feel like you can achieve. We are grateful for all donations big and small.
2. Timing. Make your birthday even more meaningful. A Facebook fundraiser is one way to dedicate your birthday and raise money for AFSC. But really, anytime is a good time to support peace and justice.
3. Inform and inspire. Your friends and family may not know about AFSC. Educate your friends on why supporting AFSC is important to you. If you have one, share a personal story of how AFSC inspires you.
4. Be grateful! Thank your friends and family when they donate and encourage them to share your fundraiser with others.
