Give supporters a product to buy
Raised gives your school or club another way to raise money: a product drive with online orders. Choose participating wholesaler products or add your own, publish your campaign and share the link. That can suit supporters who want to buy something while contributing to your cause.
The organiser can keep orders together rather than combining paper forms and messages. Confirm your wholesale costs, selling prices and fulfilment arrangements first. The amount sold is not the same as the campaign's final profit.
Keep donations and sponsored activities available
You do not need a product to use Raised. A donation page lets your group explain a specific appeal and collect card contributions towards a target. A sponsored athon gives participants their own fundraising activity and a way to involve family and friends.
That range is useful for a school or club with several fundraising needs during the year. Choose the campaign around the project, then check the fees for that format. Avoid comparing two headline percentages without considering processing charges and who pays them.
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.
