Starting October 31st, verified non-profits on Facebook who have been set up to receive donations from people will need to get set up with Pay Pal Giving Fund, Facebook’s chosen new third-party processor. Not only do you need to review and accept these changes, you’ll have to get set up with a PPGF account. Unfortunately, the days of non-profits receiving 100% of funds raised (without any fees) are gone. After October 31st, fundraisers set up through Facebook or donations made to non-profits will have a processing fee withheld. Another big change appears to be the way that registered non-profits will receive payments. Previously disbursements were paid via electronic payment directly to a bank account. According to the notice sent by Meta on August 30, 2023, PPGF plans to mail paper checks.
