Facebook fundraisers now let anyone ask for money from their friends

Facebook is making it very easy to ask for money from your friends. The social network has rolled out a fundraising feature aimed at raising cash for whatever people want. They can be used for personal fundraising – cash for educational, medical or personal emergencies, for instance – as well as now for communities or sports teams. As such, it looks to take on other popular services like Go Fund Me or Just Giving, both of which aim to be shared on Facebook and generate money from friends. But Facebook's option is cheaper, taking a much smaller percentage than the former.
