About Us News Fundraising on Instagram Australians have been able to fundraise on Facebook for a while, however, Instagram hasn't offered the same capability...until now.

It's very user-friendly and starting a fundraiser only takes a few minutes. You can generate a fundraiser for any occasion, large or small. Some examples might be: A birthday fundraiser where friends and family make a charitable donation instead of a gift Fundraising for a special challenge or activity, e.g. a local marathon or triathlon A special occasion fundraiser, such as a community picnic or BBQ Getting Started Instagram makes it super easy to set-up your fundraiser.
