Facebook tests fundraising and donation tools for charities

Social network says 150 million of its users are connected to a cause, so it is setting out to help charities raise money

Facebook is testing new tools to help charities raise money within the social network, with 37 partners already signed up.

Restricted to the US for now, the early testers include the World Wildlife Fund and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, with Facebook planning to open up the test to more non-profit bodies in the coming months.
