You can set up a Facebook fundraiser for Cure GM1 Foundation in just a few minutes, any time of year. Try it for your birthday, an anniversary, GM1 Gangliosidosis Awareness Day on May 23, Giving Tuesday on December 1, 2026, or in honor of someone you love.
Why it matters right now
Every gift supports our work toward an enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for GM1 gangliosidosis. In 2026 we reached a significant milestone with our INTERACT meeting with the FDA, and fundraisers from friends and family help keep that momentum going.
How to set up your fundraiser
- Go to facebook.com/fundraisers while logged in to Facebook (or tap Menu, then Fundraisers in the Facebook app).
- Click Create fundraiser (on some screens this button says Raise money).
- Choose Nonprofit, then search for Cure GM1 Foundation and select it.
- Set your fundraising goal and choose when your fundraiser should end.
- Give your fundraiser a title, for example “Eli’s Birthday Fundraiser for Cure GM1 Foundation.”
- Tell your story. Share why GM1 matters to you, and let people know that every gift helps, whether it is $5 or $500. Information about Cure GM1 Foundation fills in automatically.
- Pick a cover photo, then click Create.
Prefer Instagram?
Instagram has fundraisers too. Add a Donate sticker to your Story or start a fundraiser from your profile, and search for Cure GM1 Foundation the same way.
After you set it up
- Invite friends and family, and share it.
- Post updates a few times while it runs, especially as you get close to your goal.
- Thank your donors when it ends. Facebook makes it easy to post a thank-you to everyone who gave.
