It is not absolutely necessary for you to connect a Facebook account to your GoFundMe account. You can still collect donations and send your campaign to whomever you'd like.
However, connecting a Facebook has been a key factor for most of our successful campaigns. It's a great way to leverage your community of friends and family that may already exist.
Connecting your Facebook account to GoFundMe does not automatically post anything to your Facebook page. You have total control over what gets posted to your Facebook account.
To connect your Facebook & Twitter from a desktop or laptop computer, please:
- Sign in to your GoFundMe account
- Select the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner, then select "Account Settings" from the drop-down menu.
- Scroll to the "Connected Accounts" section
- Select the "Connect" button
From a mobile device, please:
- Sign in to your GoFundMe account on your mobile device
- Tap the Menu button in the upper left corner (button with 3 lines or if you're on the app, select your initials in the upper right hand corner)
- Tap "Account Settings"
- Scroll to the "Connected Accounts" section
- Tap the blue "Connect" button
