Fundraising Toolkit

Facebook Fundraisers allow you to share your story and collect donations directly through Facebook while seamlessly syncing with your Challenge Walk MS Fundraising Center. You can easily invite your Facebook friends to get involved, communicate with donors and see donations show up in real-time for a dynamic fundraising experience.

Donations through your Facebook Fundraiser will sync automatically to your Fundraising Center. If you make changes to your photo, story, goal, etc. on either your Challenge Walk MS fundraising page or your Facebook Fundraiser after the creation of your Facebook Fundraiser, the changes will not sync.

Facebook will send a receipt to the email address associated with your donor’s Facebook account, which will include the National MS Society’s EIN/tax ID number, along with a thank you email if they opt to receive emails from the Society.

To request a refund, please use Facebook’s donation support form.
