Comic Relief, the nonprofit behind Red Nose Day, has announced that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will match up to $1 million in donations to Red Nose Day’s US campaign through Facebook’s range of charitable giving products.
The joint effort enables people across the country to double the impact of their donation to Red Nose Day in the US, which supports programs that keep children safe, healthy and educated here in the United States and abroad.
Red Nose Day is all about coming together to have fun and make a difference for children in need.
Red Nose Day supporters can take advantage of the match in a number of ways using new and existing Facebook products:
• Set up a Facebook fundraiser for Red Nose Day USA and encourage friends to donate.
• Use #RedNoseDay or #NosesOn in posts to prompt the option to add a donate button (text posts only).
