Meta introduces fundraising tools: How you can GRÜN spendino can still reach your donors

At the end of April, Meta made a surprise announcement that its fundraising tools on Facebook and Instagram will no longer be available in the European Economic Area (EEA) from July 1, 2024. This decision has a major impact on charities that have previously relied on these platforms for fundraising.

The reasons for the shutdown are currently unclear. Meta's official announcement says it is "further improving products and making it even easier to raise awareness and donations for causes and charities." The short-term nature of this change in particular poses a major challenge for NPOs.

Previously, organizations were able to collect donations directly on Facebook and Instagram through Meta's integrated donation options. The money was first transferred to Meta before being paid out to the organizations. This method not only provided centralized management of fundraising efforts, but also a visual representation of donation levels, which was particularly useful for disaster relief or influencer campaigns.

From July 2024, the charities that have previously worked with Meta will now have to manage everything from marketing to payment processing on their own. This poses a short-term and existential challenge, especially for smaller organizations.
