How to Create A WCS Run for the Wild Facebook Fundraiser

Facebook can be a powerful way to let your friends know that you're running for wildlife, and why it matters. And the funds you raise with your WCS Run for the Wild Facebook Fundraiser will count towards reaching your fundraising minimum. Plus, the more you raise, the more cool prizes you can earn!

It’s super easy to set up:

  1. Log in to your Run for the Wild fundraising account
  2. If you're on desktop:
    1. Click on your profile picture in the upper right corner of the page, and select “Manage My Page”
    2. In the left menu bar, select “Create a Facebook Fundraiser”
    If you're on mobile:
    1. Open the menu from the top left of your screen and then expand "My Page" and select "Create a Facebook Fundraiser."
  3. Click “Connect with Fundraiser”
  4. Fill in your fundraiser details and click “Save”

That’s it! Easy. Any donations you receive through your Facebook fundraiser will automatically be added to your Run for the Wild fundraising page, and will appear on your page as being from “A Facebook Friend”. For any questions about your Facebook donations, reach out to runforthewild@wcs.org.
