# Become a Facebook fan of Oxfam - Link: https://fundraising.co.uk/2008/06/27/become-facebook-fan-oxfam/ - Published: 2008-06-27T15:50:55+01:00 - Author: Howard Lake How do you link your main corporate charity site to your charity’s Facebook group or Facebook page? Facebook offers you a simple blue graphic which you can download and use: [⌊Find us on Facebook⌉](http://www.facebook.com/pages/UK-Fundraising/5651319486?ref=s) ## Advertisement [⌊Posthub advert. You create the campaign. We'll handle the postal journey. Get started at post-hub.co.uk.⌉](https://fundraising.co.uk/ads/posthub-20261007-300x250/) There’s always your personal link e.g. Howard Lake’s Facebook profile but that’s not relevant for an organisation’s presence on Facebook. You could always simply add a text link to your organisation’s page, but that’s not that exciting. So, hats off to Oxfam for their effort in their latest monthly email news alert: [⌊Facebook fan of Oxfam⌉](http://www.facebook.com/pages/Oxfam-GB/7214031395) Simple and to the point, and all within the new Oxfam brand and style. No Facebook logo. That said, there are only 531 fans for Oxfam GB so far, a far cry from the 41,571 fans of the Greenpeace International page on Facebook (OK, I’m not comparing a national charity with an international organisation). But that just shows what can be achieved. OxfamGB have begun to customise their Facebook page with a clear donate now button( or rather ‘Get rich quick – give’ button). Mercifully though, Oxfam has not joined the herds in turning the word ‘fan’ into a transitive verb e.g. "please fan my website". Yes, "to fan" exists as a verb of course, but it has a completely different meaning. UK Fundraising has a Facebook page as well as a Facebook group. So, please [become a Facebook fan of UK Fundraising](http://www.facebook.com/pages/UK-Fundraising/5651319486?ref=s). Incidentally, Facebook includes guidance on [how to promote your Facebook page outside Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/pages/manage/promo_guidelines.php). * **[Justgiving Facebook app installed over 100,000 times](https://fundraising.co.uk/2008/07/23/justgiving-facebook-app-installed-over-100000-times/)**( 23 July 2008) * **[Facebook groups and events just got more important](https://fundraising.co.uk/2008/09/09/facebook-groups-and-events-just-got-more-important/)**( 9 September 2008) * **[Facebook Causes offers short URLs for easier marketing](https://fundraising.co.uk/2008/09/18/facebook-causes-offers-short-urls-easier-marketing/)**( 18 September 2008)
