Instagram Personal Fundraisers & Donate Stickers
On Instagram you can post a ‘Donate Sticker’ in your stories, or you can start a ‘Personal Fundraiser’ that runs for a set period of time with a defined fundraising target.
Add a donation sticker to invite people to donate to MDSC. After you select the donation sticker, you can select the charity (MD Support Centre) you want to raise money for and customize the name of your fundraiser. When people see your donation sticker in your story, they can tap Donate. Swipe up on your story to see the total amount raised and donations by username.
You can also create a fundraiser for MDSC from an Instagram post. The fundraiser will be visible in the post and you can find a link to the fundraiser in your bio. The fundraiser will be active for 30 days and you can extend the fundraiser duration or end it at any time.
If your profile is public, your fundraiser will be visible to anyone. If your profile is private, only people who follow you will be able to see and donate to your fundraiser.
