How to start a Facebook Challenge

Starting a Facebook fundraising challenge is as easy as three simple steps:

1. Choose your challenge

First, decide what type of challenge you would like to promote. If you're not sure what that is, consider leaning into your passions.

For example, do you have a strong interest in fitness? Consider a running or cycling challenge! View other challenge ideas.

2. Create your fundraiser

Once you've decided on your challenge, click the button below your selection. You'll be prompted to activate your fundraiser on Facebook and get step by step instructions on how to set up your fundraiser.

3. Share your challenge

Once you establish the details of your fundraising challenge, you can post and share it with friends, family, coworkers — whomever you like! To reach the widest possible audience, share the link to your challenge on additional social media platforms.

For those of us who are more introverted, traditional methods of fundraising may seem intimidating or overwhelming at times. That said, introversion can be a superpower when it comes to fundraising, so long as you know how to use it.
