As they complete the activities in the challenge, they can post about them in the fundraiser they created and the challenge group. Other participants of the fundraiser will post about their activities too.

Giving Funds are a collection of nonprofits related to a similar cause. You can discover Giving Funds in your Feed and choose to make a one-time donation or a recurring monthly donation to the causes you care about. We cover all of the payment processing fees for donations made to nonprofits on Facebook.
How are nonprofits chosen?
We're working with select community leaders to choose nonprofits that are featured in Giving Funds. The organizations featured in Giving Funds are not chosen by Facebook.
Note: Nonprofits must be enrolled with Meta Pay to be eligible to be in a Giving Fund.
How are funds distributed to nonprofits?
Your donation is divided evenly between all the nonprofits in the fund.
The minimum donation amount depends on how many nonprofits are featured in the fund. There's a minimum donation of $1 to each nonprofit, so for example if there are 5 nonprofits, then the minimum donation is $5.
Each organization will receive funds according to our payout schedule
for nonprofits enrolled with Meta Pay. Organizations receive money bi-weekly if they've raised at least $100 USD since their last payment.
