Interesting idea! We haven’t built that in yet, but I think we could build a feature that would add up your donations throughout the year and track your projected impact, but wait until Giving Tuesday to actually disburse the funds (in a way that would enable the match).
It also seems risky as a feature to develop when we can’t predict what Facebook will do in the future. (I’m a huge advocate for EA Giving Tuesday as a project, but only in the context of “we’re pretty sure Facebook will have a match”, and I think it’s still too new to be very confident that things will keep working in the same way.)
Can it help enable Giving Tuesday matching despite many small donations throughout the year?

I don’t think Facebook permits automated donations, so I don’t think this will be feasible.
