Here Are All the New Tools and Initiatives Announced at Facebook’s Social Good Forum

100 percent of donations made to nonprofits via Facebook payments will go directly to those organizations

Facebook revealed several new tools and initiatives at its second annual Social Good Forum in New York Wednesday.

Nonprofit fees have been eliminated, meaning that 100 percent of donations made to nonprofits via Facebook payments will go directly to those organizations.

The company also announced the Facebook Donations Fund, a $50 million annual fund for 2018 aimed at helping communities recover from disasters. The fun will be made up of direct contributions and matching funds.

The social network introduced its new Mentorship and Support product, which is aimed at connecting “people who may need support and advice to achieve their goals with people who have the expertise and experience to help,” vice president of social good Naomi Gleit said in a Newsroom post.
