How to raise money for charity on your phone

We all have charitable causes we'd like to support, but raising money can seem much more daunting than simply donating whatever we can, individually. With the correct app, though, you can build a fundraising page right from your phone.

With a few key details, a description, and a photo, you can start helping in minutes. It's as easy as sharing your chosen cause on social media and letting the app handle the heavy lifting of collecting and registering donations.

We've picked out five apps that make fundraising straightforward, and they're free to download whether you're using Android or iOS.

If you're still using Facebook, know that you can use the site for more than just posting vacation photos and keeping in touch with your friends. You can put the mobile app to good use by raising money for a cause, and Facebook doesn't keep any of the proceeds, either.

To get started, hit the menu button in the top right portion of the app's main News Feed screen, then choose See More and Fundraisers. Tap Raise money and, when prompted, add any necessary details. You can specify a particular charity or cause (such as crisis relief or a memorial fund), and add a picture, a description, and a goal amount to your new fundraising page.

Once your campaign page has been created, you can post it to your Facebook profile (so other people see it in their feed), or invite specific friends to view the page. Note that fundraisers like this are public, so anyone on Facebook can stumble across them and, if they're feeling generous, choose to donate.
