Support Friends of the Earth
Birthdays are normally a fun way to get together and celebrate with friends and family. If you've had to cancel your birthday party and won't be seeing people for a while, how about setting up a Facebook fundraiser instead?
By asking friends and family to donate to Friends of the Earth for your birthday, you can help fund urgent campaigns for a safer climate, more trees, and less plastic pollution.
Why fundraise on your birthday?
There are so many reasons to ask your friends and family to donate.
✔️ All money raised will help protect people and planet.
✔️ 90% of what we do relies on donations from people like you. Your fundraiser means we can continue our vital campaigning to fight climate chaos.
✔️ Birthday donations are plastic-free and more planet-friendly than classic presents.
✔️ Help raise awareness of our work to protect the planet.
