Facebook now helps users create fundraisers faster. The social media platform launched a simpler tool today. This feature cuts steps in setting up fundraisers directly on Facebook. People can collect money for nonprofits or personal causes more quickly.

Setting up a fundraiser takes only minutes now. Users first pick “Fundraiser” from their Facebook menu. Then they select a nonprofit or explain their personal cause. Next they set a money goal and end date. After that they add photos and a story. Finally they share it with friends. The old process required more clicks and forms.
A Facebook spokesperson stated the change helps communities. “People want to support important causes fast. We made fundraiser setup straightforward. Now anyone can start one during a coffee break.” The company noted rising use of fundraisers for medical bills and community projects. Last year users raised over $5 billion through Facebook.
The tool shows real-time donation progress. Supporters can give money securely without leaving Facebook. Payment processing fees still apply but stay low. Nonprofits receive all funds raised for them. Personal cause fundraisers may have different rules.

The feature works globally on phones and computers. Facebook plans more updates like team fundraising later this year. Users report testing the tool already feels intuitive. One volunteer said it helped her animal shelter fundraiser in under ten minutes.
