  3. Select Fundraiser under Create in the left-hand menu.
  4. Click Get Started.

Instagram fundraiser

  1. Create a new post or choose an existing one. Tap the plus (+) icon at the bottom of your screen, select a photo or video, edit it and tap Next.
  2. Add the fundraiser. On the details screen (where you add your caption), tap Add fundraiser, search for KCNQ2 Cure Alliance, enter your goal and duration, then tap Done.
  3. Share it. Share the post to your feed and stories, and add relevant hashtags to reach more people. The fundraiser shows in your post, and a link to it appears in your bio.

Good to know

  • Fundraisers usually run for 30 days, but you can extend or end them at any time.
  • If your profile is public, anyone can see and donate. If it’s private, only your followers can.
  • You can also add a donation sticker to your stories and search for KCNQ2 Cure Alliance.
