It takes just two clicks to launch a fundraiser to help fight against book bans! Join our campaigns today
In September, we'll be celebrating Banned Books Week from the 22nd to the 28th. During this week we'll have a lot of great activities planned to raise awareness about the fight against book bans.
You can help support libraries and help us fight against book bans by launching a Facebook Fundraiser for the month!
We made it easy to get started!
It only takes a few moments to set up a fundraiser. In fact, it only takes two clicks! Once you're logged into Facebook,
1. click this link
2. click 'Create'!
This is the easiest way to join the fight for the freedom to read and the right to access American libraries!
Launch your fundraiser today, and then click to share this campaign on Facebook and Twitter!
Then, tell your friends!
Facebook will put your fundraiser in front of your friends and connections, but the most successful fundraisers are ones that make a more personal ask. The easiest thing to do is to go to your donation page and click "invite your friends" and send them all an invitation to make a donation. You can also send messages to your friends and connections on Facebook to make it even more personal. Just send a message like:
"I'm raising money to help fight against book bans in the United States and to help support libraries. I would love it if you could make a small contribution and help me reach my goal [insert link to fundraiser here]"
Finally, don't forget to thank everyone who donates.

About EveryLibrary Institute
The EveryLibrary Institute is a gold-rated 501c3 organization that supports EveryLibrary's work through training, publishing, and public education.
Your tax-deductible donations allow us to provide pro-bono consulting, tools, and data to libraries in crisis or threatened with closures or defunding. Your donations allow us to educate hundreds of thousands of American voters about the importance of libraries each week, making it easier for libraries to serve their communities across the country. And, of course, your donations make it possible for us to fight against book bans and censorship at the local, state, and federal levels through our fightforthefirst.org platform where we have supported over 100 campaigns against book bans.
Donate with Trust
The best part about a Facebook Fundraiser is that you can trust that your donations go to support our organization. That’s because all organizations are vetted by Network For Good. This organization is accredited by the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance and meets all 20 of its standards for charity accountability. Fundraisers through Facebook also charge the smallest fee of any online donor portal. That means that more of your donations make it to the EveryLibrary Institute and allow us to do more work!
Thank you so much for helping us support libraries and the freedom to read during banned books week.
