#GivingTuesday is just around the corner! If you are interested in making the biggest impact for animals, please consider setting up a Facebook fundraiser on behalf of ACE and/or our Funds for this social media-driven fundraising event. In addition to offering year-round, fee-free donations to eligible nonprofit organizations such as ACE, Facebook is also matching donations up to $7 million on Giving Tuesday! To increase the chance that your and your friends’ donations are matched, check out and share these instructions which explain how to get your donation in immediately after the match launches at 5:00am Pacific Time. Setting up a fundraiser takes less than 5 minutes, and we’ve made it even easier for you with this step-by-step guide.

Follow these simple steps to set up a fundraising campaign on Facebook:

1. Click here to visit ACE’s Facebook fundraiser page

You should automatically be directed to create a new fundraiser.

2. Enter the amount of money you’d like to raise

Pick any amount you like! If you meet your goal before the fundraiser ends, you can always update the goal amount.

3. Set an end date for your fundraiser

To take advantage of the Facebook matching funds, we recommend a 24-hour Giving Tuesday fundraiser. Regardless of the length, we encourage you to end your fundraiser by the end of the year.

4. Customize fundraiser text

Since we offer multiple giving opportunities through ACE, we have provided language below that you may use to indicate the option that you prefer. Feel free to copy and paste this into your fundraiser’s story, and remember to personalize it so that your friends and family know it is coming from you!

Fundraise for ACE Title [Your first name]’s fundraiser for Animal Charity Evaluators! Description This #GivingTuesday I’m fundraising for Animal Charity Evaluators (ACE) because 99% of the animals who suffer at the hands of humans are farmed animals, yet they receive the least amount of attention and money in the entire animal advocacy movement. ACE provides research, recommendations, and grants in order to help the greatest number of animals as efficiently and effectively as possible. Donations to ACE support evidence-based research that assists compassionate donors, volunteers, and advocates in making informed decisions on how to help as many animals as possible. Your donation will make an impact, no matter the size, and it will mean so much to me that you are willing to support a cause near and dear to me. For more information on ACE’s programs, please visit animalcharityevaluators.org.
