At the Greek America Foundation, we believe that philanthropy and purpose should be part of everyday life—including our celebrations. When you “donate your birthday,” you help sustain our mission to promote, preserve, and perpetuate Greek culture, history, and ideals through education, culture, volunteer service, and community initiatives.
Your fundraiser gives us the flexibility to grow our programs and respond where the need is greatest—whether that means empowering volunteers through Greek America Corps, supporting young scholars or creating meaningful cultural experiences that connect people around the world.
How to Create Your Birthday Fundraiser on Facebook
- Log into Facebook and look for “Fundraisers” in the menu (on desktop or mobile).
- Click “Raise Money” and choose “Charity / Nonprofit.”
- Search for and select Greek America Foundation as the nonprofit you want to support.
- Set your fundraising goal and choose a campaign end date (many choose their birthday or a meaningful date).

- Add or choose a cover photo (you can use a GAF-branded image or a favorite personal photo).
- Click “Create” (or “Start Fundraiser”).
- Once your fundraiser is live, share the link on your Facebook feed, in stories, via Messenger, or any other social media channels.
