Facebook

If you create a fundraiser for a nonprofit, the nonprofit will receive donations directly from Facebook, or from Network for Good, or from PayPal Giving Fund.

If you create a fundraiser for yourself or someone else on Facebook, all donations are sent to the fundraiser creator's personal checking account through Stripe, Facebook's fundraising payment processor.

Donations to US 501(c)(3) nonprofits are typically tax-deductible. Donations to charities outside the U.S. may be eligible for tax credits or deductions. Donations to personal fundraisers are not typically tax deductible.

If you have questions about the deductibility of any donations, please reach out to a tax professional.
