The Unavoidable Power of Facebook Fundraising with Nick Burne

GivePanel is the lead sponsor of the Nonprofit Social Media Summit! Click here to get your ticket -  it's all virtual on November 2-3, 2021.

Despite what you may think of Facebook's ethical practices, nonprofits around the world rely on the social network to connect with donors and raise money every day.  

• Over $5 billion has been raised with Facebook birthday fundraisers.  
• Facebook Challenges have raised more than $50 million for nonprofits in the last 12 months alone.
• 84% of Facebook users share to show their support for a cause and highlight issues that are important to them.

There is overwhelming evidence that nonprofits of all sizes can make a serious impact and raise real money on Facebook (and Instagram). So why is there still so little actionable data on how to do it effectively? 

In this episode, I ask Facebook fundraising expert Nick Burne about the power and potential of Facebook & Instagram fundraising. Nick is the Founder & CEO of GivePanel - a platform that helps over 200 nonprofits manage their Facebook Fundraising (and helps them acquire the donor data). 

Here are some of the topics we discussed:

• The Facebook Fundraising Benchmarks Report
• Which causes are seeing the highest growth in Facebook fundraiser income
• How to use Facebook Group Challenges to raise money and engage your community
• The biggest mistakes nonprofits make when attempting to raise money on Facebook 

A Nick Burne quotable: "Fundraising is about people and about human beings. So our philosophy is what we call the H two H - human to human. Fundraising is a human thing... I don't see supporters as data. I see supporters as people you can have a relationship with."
