Set up a Facebook Fundraiser to benefit DSF
You can set up a fundraising campaign on Facebook in less than 5 minutes. Many of our fundraisers set up a campaign in honor of their birthday or other special event, then share it with family and friends and ask that donations are made to DSF.
There are no fees for non-profits when you host a Facebook Fundraiser. That means that 100% of donations come directly to DSF!
In 2024, Facebook & Instagram Fundraisers raised over $45,233 for DSF!
