We all know what fun it is to be showered with Birthday greetings on Facebook! Now you can give your friends and family another way to celebrate you with a donation to Music in Common that will support youth across the country who are committed to creating a more unified and peaceful world.  
 
Here's how it works:
A couple of weeks before your birthday, there may be a post from Facebook in News Feed or on your profile asking if you want to support a cause you care about.

​When you see this post, to create a birthday fundraiser:
  • Click Select Nonprofit.
  • Select Music in common and enter the amount of money you want to raise.
  • Enter an end date for your fundraiser and then click Next.
  • Enter a different title and description for your fundraiser if you want to customize this information, and click Next.
  • Add a cover photo (we have included one here for you to use)
  • Click Create to make your fundraiser public.​
In the summer of 2017, a long-time Music in Common supporter donated his birthday to Music in Common by writing a letter to his friends and family telling them what the work with youth means to him.  In lieu of gifts or greetings, he invited them to make a donation to MIC in his honor. This generosity raised money for Music in Common and brought us many new donors to help us meet a match challenge.  What an amazing contribution!

This kind of giving is a win-win for everyone! Whether it be a birthday, anniversary,  bat/bar mitzvah or any occasion, you can know that not only have you multiplied your own donation, but you have given your circle of people a chance to make a real difference and to learn about the positive impact our programs are having in communities across the country and around the world.
