Which fundraising option suits your school or club?
Choose the work your volunteers can manage before choosing a fundraising company or platform. Raised provides the online campaign tools; your group organises its suppliers, event and collection arrangements.
| Format | When it fits | What to plan |
|---|---|---|
| Product fundraising | Families want something in return, such as pies, cheese or baked goods. | Supplier price, order deadline, minimum quantities and collection. |
| Sponsored athons | Your school wants a shared activity, such as a colour run or read-a-thon. | Participant pages, supervision, equipment and how results are recorded. |
| Donation pages | Supporters want to give directly to a clearly explained cause. | Campaign story, payment fees, updates and who manages the funds. |

Common Questions About Fundraising in NZ
Everything you need to know before getting started
Who can use Raised in New Zealand?
Anyone. Schools, sports clubs, community groups, charities, and individuals can all set up a fundraiser. You don't need to be a registered charity.
What products can I sell?
Raised connects you with NZ wholesalers who supply products like pies, cheese, cookie dough, and more. You choose products, set your retail price, and keep the profit margin.
What does it cost?
There is no setup fee or monthly subscription. NZ card payments carry a 5% platform fee plus Stripe processing, currently 2.65% + NZ$0.30 for local cards. International cards cost more. Fee handling depends on the campaign settings; cash and bank transfers recorded on eligible product campaigns have no platform fee. Product and event costs are separate.
Can I also run a crowdfunding campaign?
Yes. Raised supports both product-based fundraising and crowdfunding campaigns where supporters contribute towards a monetary goal.
How long does it take to set up?
Create your campaign, confirm your supplier or event arrangements, then customise the page and share its link. Allow time to check products, payment settings and collection instructions before launch.
How do payments work?
Stripe processes online card payments in NZD. Product fundraisers can also record eligible cash and bank transfer payments. Crowdfunding campaigns take card payments; confirm your campaign settings and payout arrangements before launch.
