**Facebook is now letting users with verified pages add donate buttons to their 
Facebook live video broadcasts.**

This function was introduced for nonprofits in 2016, but is now being extended to
all Page owners. 

Individuals, businesses, brands and organisations can now receive donations during
live videos. People watching the live broadcast can donate as they watch, or give
once the broadcast has ended and is posted on the Page.

As with all of Facebook’s charity-focused services, the only organisations that 
can currently receive these donations are US nonprofits. But expect it to be rolled
out to UK charities.
The new facility was announced on the same day that Google 
announced it was trialling [personal fundraising campaigns](https://fundraising.co.uk/2017/03/31/facebook-introduces-personal-fundraising-tools/)
for US users.
