Who can fundraise in Facebook Live?
People can add a donate button to their live video to help raise money for a US-based 501(c)(3), and now so can celebrities, businesses and other organizations that have a verified Page on Facebook. Viewers can donate as they watch the live video or once the video has been posted. This is a great way to rally supporters around a cause.
If you are a US-based 501(c)(3) charity with a verified Page you can use video and other Facebook donation tools to raise funds for your nonprofit directly on Facebook when you apply and are approved byFacebook payments.
