Great news! This year, your #GivingTuesday gift could go twice as far when you use Facebook.

On November 28, starting at 8 a.m. EST, your impact could be doubled, thanks to a generous matching gift from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

When you make a donation using the “Donate” button on our Facebook page or create your own fundraiser in support of animals, gifts made on #GivingTuesday will be matched up to $50,000 per nonprofit and $1,000 per fundraiser. All fees will be waived for the day—which means that every dollar we raise will go toward helping animals.

But you’ll want to hurry! The match is first come, first served until the funds are gone, so be sure to donate and let your friends and family know about the fundraiser on #GivingTuesday before it’s too late.

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow—PETA is there for animals in need. Your help this #GivingTuesday can go twice as far for animals who need us day in and day out.

If you plan to donate, visit our Facebook page on #GivingTuesday as early as you can beginning at 8 a.m. EST and click on the “Donate” button.
