Individuals can now support local businesses via Facebook
Facebook has expanded its personal fundraiser feature to allow individuals to raise funds for businesses affected by Covid-19.
While the feature was not previously available to businesses, the social media network has enabled individuals to start a personal fundraiser in support of local businesses given the challenges SMEs are facing.
“In recent weeks, we’ve seen people on our platforms rallying around small businesses who may be struggling at this time,” said Ciaran Quilty, vice president of global business group at Facebook.
“We’ve listened to these individuals and the business community and that’s why we’re expanding our fundraising tool to enable individuals fundraise for their favourite local business. We think this a good way to help people help small businesses in our communities who need it most.”
