Facebook's latest feature helps you raise money for your favorite charity

Facebook just made it a lot easier for users to raise money for the causes they care about.

Several months after the social network launched a new "fundraiser" feature for nonprofits to collect donations, Facebook announced it has expanded the tool to individual users. Starting Thursday, users in the U.S. can create dedicated fundraiser pages to raise money for verified nonprofits.

The tool is now available to 1% of U.S. users — standard for new Facebook products in order to gather feedback and make sure there aren't any bugs — but it will roll out to all U.S. users in the coming weeks.
