How to Create a Facebook Fundraiser
Support Samadhi by Fundraising Online
If Samadhi has helped you, why not help us help others?
Start a Facebook fundraiser and invite your friends to support the work that’s made a difference in your life.
Whether it’s your birthday, a special occasion, or just because our work means something to you, creating a Facebook fundraiser is a powerful way to give back.
What is a "Facebook fundraiser?"
A Facebook Fundraiser is a simple way to raise money for a cause you care about, directly through your own Facebook profile.
You choose a charity (like Samadhi), set a goal amount, and share it with your friends and family. People can donate securely without leaving Facebook, and funds raised come straight to us!
Many people set them up to mark a birthday, a meaningful life event, or simply to support the work that’s touched their lives. It takes less than five minutes, and it can make a real difference.

Tips for a Successful Fundraiser
You don’t need to be a social media expert to create something meaningful. Here are a few simple ways to make your fundraiser more engaging and effective:
1. Share why it matters 🪷
People give to people. Let them know why Samadhi means something to you – whether it’s helped you through a difficult time, deepened your practice, or simply brought more calm into your life.
“I’m fundraising for Samadhi because their retreats helped me find peace when I really needed it.”
“Samadhi is on a mission to help people transform their lives. To give them a space to face their difficulties and find greater strength and wellbeing. To help them realise they’re stronger than they think. That they have the ability to be happier, more grounded, and less stressed, even in a world that often feels overwhelming.”
“I’m fundraising for Samadhi because I’ve seen how their retreats and classes change lives.”
2. Set a goal that feels doable 🧡
Even £50 or £100 can have a real impact. Choose a target that feels reachable; it encourages people to chip in and helps build momentum. Once you reach your goal, you can increase it again and again.
3. Add a photo 📸
A warm, real photo (of you on retreat, or just something peaceful and personal) helps people feel connected and inspired to give.
4. Keep sharing 🔄
Don’t be shy to share your fundraiser a few times during the week, especially close to your birthday or your chosen end date. A gentle reminder is often all someone needs.
5. Say thank you 🙏
A quick comment or message to say thanks goes a long way. Gratitude deepens the connection and encourages others to support too.
