Webinar Recap: RunSignup – Facebook Fundraiser Integration

Nonprofits can raise more and save time with RunSignup’s free Facebook Fundraiser API Integration. The integration allows your fundraisers to auto-create a Facebook Fundraiser from RunSignup. The amounts raised on RunSignup and Facebook are automatically synced, enabling your participants (and your nonprofit) to raise more and reach fundraising goals faster.

Today’s webinar covered:

• A demo of your participants’ process of creating a Facebook Fundraiser when they register for your race

If you would like to watch a demo of how participants can become Facebook Fundraisers when they sign up for your race, you can watch the webinar starting at 3:00 – 7:30: https://youtu.be/6EDpC_Ak96o?t=180

• The benefits of Facebook Fundraising for your nonprofit

Raise More. On average, connected fundraisers raise over $150 through Facebook. Facebook’s powerful social network and ease of use make it easy for your fundraisers to ask their friends for donations.

Save Time. The RunSignup – Facebook Fundraiser API Integration automates the process of manually logging and tracking Facebook donations for your race. 

Save Money. It’s free to use the RunSignup – Facebook Fundraiser API Integration. Donations made on RunSignup have a low 4% processing fee (yes, that includes credit card fees) that you can absorb, pass to your donors, or give your donors the option to cover. Facebook’s free processing fees lower your nonprofit’s donation processing fees even more when you enable the RunSignup – Facebook Fundraiser API Integration.
