Facebook is the world's largest social network and charities are keen to create 
communities and engage with supporters there, yet few are using any of Facebook's
tools to raise any money effectively. Based on data from Facebook and JustGiving,
Jonathan Waddingham of JustGiving shows you how to prompt donors to share their 
donations and the pound value of a Facebook share compared to other social networks.

The presentation also includes Facebook's own advice to charities on using the platform,
and how a charity has successfully done so.

Waddingham presented this at the July 2012 Institute of Fundraising National Convention
in London.
