matched funding campaign.**

on 28 November, starting at 12am local time in the UK, will be matched up to £10K
per charity and £400 per individual fundraiser or donate button for a charity until
its £200K in matching funds runs out. Donations must be made through a fundraiser
for a nonprofit, a donate button on a post, a donate button on a page or a donate
button on a live video.

After #GivingTuesday, charities that have run their own fundraiser will see a banner
on it, saying how much they have been matched by and the amount raised. There are
currently no fees for fundraising for charities in the UK.

 

To qualify to use the Facebook fundraiser function, charities based in the European
countries where Facebook donation and fundraising tools are available must [sign up](https://www.facebook.com/donate/signup),
and must provide (if applicable) a VAT number and charity registration number, a
charity registration document issued or approved by a government entity and a bank
account registered with a licensed financial services institution.
