Facebook announced Thursday that its community has helped raise more than $10 million to aid victims of Hurricane Harvey.
The social network pledged earlier this week to match every dollar raised on Facebook, up to $1 million, for the Center for Disaster Philanthropy’s Hurricane Harvey Recovery Fund, which is earmarked to support recovery and rebuilding efforts.
The $1 million match was contributed, and Facebook waived fees on donations to the Center for Disaster Philanthropy’s Hurricane Harvey Recovery Fund made via messages atop users’ News Feeds.
Other nonprofits that were able to raise money using Facebook’s charitable giving tools included the American Red Cross, the Houston Food Bank, Austin Pets Alive!, the Texas Diaper Bank, Operation BBQ Relief, Texas Rubicon USA and the Greater Houston Community Foundation.
