Fundraise for the Garden through Facebook

Facebook is a great resource for fundraising as Facebook pays all the processing fees, and 100% of the donations come directly to us. Facebook facilitates one-off donations plus enables other Facebook users to become fundraisers and create their own fundraising campaigns – whether it’s through Birthday Fundraisers, Personal Fundraisers, Stories, GivingTuesday, or Instagram.
