Facebook’s built-in fundraising platform can be a powerful tool for nonprofits, especially when combined with a hot-button issue.

Over four days, a fundraiser set up by one couple on Facebook raised nearly $5 million for an organization that provides legal services for immigrants—including parents separated from their children on the US border as a result of a recent Trump administration policy.
