Facebook Introduces New Tools

Facebook Introduces New Tools to Make Fundraisers Even More Impactful

And waiving platform fees for all personal fundraisers.

MENLO PARK, Calif., April 27, 2018/PRNewswire/ -- Today, Facebook announced new features and tools for Facebook Fundraisers that are aimed at helping fundraiser creators and donors make even greater impact. Every day, people start Facebook Fundraisers to support the causes that matter to them.

These new features include the following:

• People can pledge to match donations to their nonprofit fundraiser, which is a first of its kind tool in online fundraising that's now available in the US and will soon expand internationally.
• There are now four new categories for fundraisers for personal causes so people can raise funds for more social good causes across family, faith, travel, and volunteering.
• In the coming weeks, Facebook is eliminating the platform fee on all fundraisers for personal causes, helping people maximize their support.

Matching Donations for Nonprofit FundraisersPeople often pledge to match donations to their Facebook Fundraisers, and the company wanted to make that easier. For example, David Smith lost his sister in a car accident in 2013, and this year for his birthday, he started a fundraiser for Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). He told family and friends that if he could raise $100, he would match their contribution. People rallied around the cause and raised $2,360 — more than 10x his original goal.

Facebook wants to help everyone meet and exceed their fundraising goals through matching donations. Now people who create fundraisers can pledge to match donations, directly within the fundraisers tool. Matches can be any amount that they choose, from $5to $2,500, helping people build momentum for their cause.

New features for Impact for Personal Causes
People on Facebook have raised money for many personal causes, including loved ones who need critical surgery, teachers needing school supplies for their students, and families in need after losing everything in a fire. They've added more categories for fundraisers for personal causes to give people more options to raise critical funds for themselves, a friend, or something or someone not on Facebook.

Based on feedback from the community, they've added fundraiser categories for family (like adoption or new baby supplies), faith (like missions or religious community events), travel (like educational trips or travel for medical needs), and volunteering (like volunteer programs or supplies) causes.

There are already examples of people using these new categories, like Lauren Pyskoty who started a fundraiser to support her first mission trip and raised $1,328. These are in addition to existing categories for personal fundraisers: community projects/groups, sports/competitions, education, medical, pets/animals, personal emergency, crisis relief, and memorial/loss.

Asha Sharma, Head of Product for Social Good at Facebook added, "we're inspired by the many ways people have come together to support one another. In the coming weeks, we're eliminating the platform fee on all fundraisers for personal causes, so that people can maximize their fundraising support."

To create a fundraiser for a nonprofit or a personal cause, visit facebook.com/fundraisers or tap the Fundraisers bookmark on the Facebook app. You can choose the cause you want to support, share why it's important to you, and follow the steps to set up your goal. The company also waived all fees for nonprofit fundraisers last fall at the Social Good Forum in New York City, NY.

"We know people care a lot about the organizations and causes they support. We're grateful for their passion and for the feedback that helps us build better tools to help them reach their fundraising goals," Sharma added.

E! NEWS EXCLUSIVE: How Kourtney Kardashian

http://www.eonline.com/news/850972/how-kourtney-kardashian-and-younes-bendjima-continue-to-keep-their-romance-top-secrethttp://www.eonline.com/news/850972/how-kourtney-kardashian-and-younes-bendjima-continue-to-keep-their-romance-top-secret

She may document part of her life on reality TV. When it comes to her new relationship, however, Kourtney Kardashian is keeping things private.

Just a couple weeks after E! News learned that the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star was seeing former boxer Younes Bendjima, we're learning more about how these two keep their situation on the down-low.

Multiple sources confirm the pair met up at the Hotel Bel Air in Los Angeles on Wednesday night for a private evening together.

According to one source, they come to the hotel quite frequently. Another insider said the pair was very low-key during their most recent visit and stayed away from the bar or common area.

The evening out comes just a few short days after Kourtney celebrated Younes' 24th birthday on Cinco de Mayo.

In pictures obtained by E! News, the pair enjoyed a romantic evening out at Il Cielo in Beverly Hills for approximately three hours.

Eyewitnesses told us the couple was "very cozy" inside and were "holding hands and sneaking in kisses."

So how did this relationship start in the first place? We're told the couple originally met during Paris Fashion Week in October. In fact, Younes was with Kourtney the night of Kim Kardashian's robbery.

"He was really helpful and supportive during that time," the source shared. "Kourtney really likes him and will text him to meet up whenever she has time without her kids."

And while we may not see them on Snapchat or a red carpet anytime soon, both parties appear to be enjoying the quality time they spend together.

"It's been casual," our source shared. "But they are really getting to know each other and having fun."

Watch a brand new episode of  Keeping Up With the Kardashians Sunday at 9 p.m., only on E!
