Facebook Fundraiser
Set Up a Facebook Fundraiser
Facebook Fundraisers allow you to share your story and collect donations directly through Facebook while seamlessly syncing with your Hike 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.
Starting Facebook Fundraisers is easy, and they automatically end when your event has completed fundraising for the year.
- Set Up During Registration
- As you’re completing your event registration, click the “Connect Fundraiser to Facebook” button.
- Set Up After Registration
- Log in to your Fundraising Center and clock on the “Create a Facebook Fundraiser” link below your progress bar.
Syncing
Donations through your Facebook Fundraiser will sync automatically to your Hike MS Fundraising Center. If you make changes to your photo, story, goal, etc. on either your Hike MS fundraising page or your Facebook Fundraiser after the creation of your Facebook Fundraiser, the changes will not sync.
Donations
100% of all donations raised via Facebook Fundraiser go toward your event fundraising goal.
Due to Facebook’s privacy policy, donors will show as “Facebook Fundraiser” on your donor honor roll. To see who donated, you can click on the receipt button for each donation or download an Excel list of your donors. You will also see who donated to you when you look at your fundraiser on Facebook.
Facebook Fundraisers can only accept U.S donations. For international donations, send your Hike MS fundraising page link.
Receipts and Refunds
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.

New DonorDrive App
The DonorDrive app is a powerful tool to help you raise funds and awareness for a world free of MS. Download it today to let your passion shine by connecting with donors and easy-to-use fundraising tools from the palm of your hand.
How to Get Started
1. Install the New DonorDrive App
- If you have the previous Hike MS app, remove it from your device(s) - it will not work for 2024 events
- Search “DonorDrive app” through the Google Play or Apple App stores or click the icons above and tap download
- Open the app and tap “GET STARTED”
- Search for “MS” at the top search bar
- Select National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS)
- Tap “LOG IN” and use the same email address and password you used when you registered for your event. You can also choose "FIND AN EVENT" to search and register for an event if you haven’t already registered.
- Select your Hike MS event (note: any 2024 event you have registered for will also appear on screen)
2. Track Your Physical Activity
As you get ready for your event, you can track your physical activity to build excitement and share progress.
- Tap the “You” icon at the bottom of the app.
- You’ll see your goal and current total activity, as well as your current streak and longest streak on your progress screen.
If you have an activity tracker:
- Provide authorization for the app to sync to your activity data. If you cannot sync all your activity data, go to your phone’s settings to allow full access.
- If your activity tracking device/app (like a Fitbit or Garmin) is connected to your Apple Health, Google Fit or Strava, your activity data will automatically upload into the app.
If you do not have an activity tracker:
- Go to your DonorDrive app, where you can manually record your activity by clicking the orange “Log Activity” button and then entering your distance in the first field. After you’ve entered your miles, select the date of the activity and enter a description. Tap “Save” and you will have logged your activity!
3. Enter Donations
It’s easier than ever to enter donations.
