Facebook fundraisers are a great way to support a non-profit that you care about while asking your family and friends to make a donation in honor of you!
Follow the steps below to set up a birthday fundraiser for Habitat DC-NOVA on Facebook. If you would like to set up a fundraiser and want to use a different platform, check out our fundraiser page where you can set up your own page and send it to your friends and family.
If you are hosting a fundraiser, we’d love to hear from you. Please email development@habitatnova.org so we can say thank you!
