Create a Facebook fundraiser
Make your birthday or any special occasion - such as a 'kidneyversary' special by setting up a Facebook fundraiser. Ask your friends and family to mark the day with a donation to help support anyone affected by polycystic kidney disease, raise vital awareness, and help fund life-changing research.

Will PKD Charity receive all the money that I raise on Facebook?
Yes! The PKD Charity receives the total amount from all donations received on Facebook. The money is paid out on a fortnightly basis from Facebook to the charity.
Will I get a certificate from PKD Charity for my fundraiser?
If you would like an official thank you and fundraising certificate from PKD Charity, please send us a Facebook direct message or email our fundraising manager at or text/call 07715 664687.
Not on Facebook?
You can still celebrate with us even if you don’t have a Facebook account. You can either set up an online donation page with JustGiving or ask people to make a donation via our website.
Or, you could celebrate by holding an event, take a look at our A-Z of Fundraising Ideas for inspiration!
