The summer of social media fundraising continues. We recently made two nice $250 donations to pages that were featured on Twitter - Pam’s Down Syndrome page and Miss Sarah’s Climate Cycle page - and now we’re taking the game to Facebook.

Join the Firstgiving Facebook group (so we know who you are) and add the Firstgiving Facebook app to your Facebook profile by Wednesday August 27, and we’ll pick two winners to receive $250 donations to their chosen Firstgiving fundraising pages.

This is a great opportunity to try Facebook fundraising for your personal cause, or if you work at a US nonprofit organization, it’s a great opportunity to mobilize your supporters on Facebook. Here’s how:

1. Join the Firstgiving Facebook group.

2. Add the Firstgiving Facebook application.

3. Add a Firstgiving page to the application. Add as many as you want. If you don’t have a Firstgiving page, create one or add somebody else’s.

4. Tell everybody you know and ask them to support you.

It’s that easy. Remember, you must be a member of the Firstgiving Facebook group and have added a fundraising page to your Facebook profile. We’ll pick two winners on August 27. Good luck!
