Click on the button that says “Select Nonprofit.”

Once you click on the “Select Nonprofit” button, a small window will open. In the search bar, type “Planet Bee Foundation.” Our page should appear at the top! Once you select us, a new window, titled “Details” will open with a desktop preview of what your fundraising page will look like once it is created.
-
In the “Details” window, you can set a donation goal you’d like to reach in the “How much money do you want to raise?” box. You may set whatever goal you’d like (we appreciate any amount of support you can give!), though goals such as $50 - $200 are most commonly met. Also, don’t worry if you do not reach your goal as Planet Bee will receive any donated funds you raise!

In “Select Currency” US Dollars (USD), then set the end date for your campaign (usually campaigns last anywhere from 2-4 weeks) in the box “When should your fundraiser end?”

In the next box, which asks “What is the title of your fundraiser?” you can choose a custom name for your fundraiser that will appear at the top of the page. (A generic one will be automatically provided by Facebook, but you may name your fundraiser whatever you please!)

In the box below asking “Why are you raising money?” you can add custom text to explain to your friends why you are supporting Planet Bee Foundation. A generic answer will also automatically be provided by Facebook, but you may state whatever you’d like! Here are some suggestions you can use in your answer or for brainstorming purposes:
Dear friends and family, I’m buzzing to let you know I am raising money for Planet Bee Foundation to support their un-bee-lievably amazing mission to create a green-minded generation through environmental stewardship, using the lens of the struggling honey bee to teach the power of individual action. Any amount is appreciated! Even just $10 will provide a student with Planet Bee’s E-STEM distance-learning program. I’ve included more information about Planet Bee Foundation below!
