I’ve fundraised on Facebook for previous challenges, how come I have to fundraise on Just Giving now?
Starting April 25th, 2024, individuals who haven't previously donated on Facebook or Instagram won't be able to donate to fundraising pages on those platforms. This means that your Facebook/Instagram friends may not be able to contribute if they haven't donated before that date. To ensure support for your fundraising efforts, we recommend using JustGiving. You can share your personal fundraising page for Jog in July with friends, family, and colleagues. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause; unfortunately, this change is entirely beyond our control.
As of 30th June 2024, Facebook will disable all Facebook/Instagram fundraising & donation tools.*
