Match the software to the fundraising job
A school product drive needs more than a way to accept a donation. Organisers need to describe the products, collect the right quantities and get the order information ready for fulfilment. Raised puts that practical campaign work alongside the supporter-facing page.
You can also create a Raised donation page when there is nothing to sell. Explain the purpose of the appeal, set a target and share a link. That makes Raised useful for a group whose fundraising changes from one project to the next.
Keep your launch focused
For a volunteer-run campaign, begin with the tasks you must complete before the link goes out. Confirm the organiser, payment setup and campaign details. Product drives also need a supplier and a collection plan. Sponsored activities need clear rules for participation and results.
Raised gives your group a way to publish that campaign without a monthly software commitment. Use the dashboard to follow campaign activity and manage orders, then plan the next fundraiser around what your volunteers can realistically deliver.
What will Raised cost our group?
There is no setup fee or monthly subscription. Card payments carry a 5% platform fee plus processing fees. Eligible product fundraisers can accept cash or bank transfer without platform or processing fees. Crowdfunding campaigns are card only.
Check your campaign settings to understand who pays card fees and which payment methods are available. Include product costs and event expenses when setting a fundraising target, and distinguish total sales from the profit your group keeps.
