Rapidata introduces first event fundraising app to run entirely within Facebook
Howard Lake | 18 October 2012 | News
Rapidata Services Plc has launched the Friendship Powered Fundraising™ App for Facebook to the UK charity market. It is “the first ever event fundraising app that runs entirely within Facebook”. The app has been created by Rapidata’s technology partner Artez Interactive, based in Canada. The Friendship Powered Fundraising (FPF) App is designed to help people use Facebook to make the most of their network of friends to help them fundraise in their sponsored event, whether that is a walk, run, cycle or other chalenge event. Once registered for an event supporters can share information about fundraising targets, accept donation payments, track progress and post updates and pictures about the events on their Facebook timeline. Unlike other ways of using Facebook for fundraising, they can do all this without having to leave Facebook to visit another site.
