## Editorial score: 6.2 / 10

## The review

RallyUp is a multichannel online fundraising platform for nonprofits that has operated since 2012 and is run by RallyUp.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Rather than a single donation tool, it offers more than a dozen mix-and-match campaign types - donation pages, raffles, auctions, sweepstakes, peer-to-peer, crowdfunding, a-thons, ticketing and storefronts - and reports having helped over 55,000 nonprofits raise more than $1 billion.

The platform runs two pricing models. Its free plan charges no platform fee and is funded by optional donor tips at checkout, so an organization never pays a platform fee even when no one tips; an alternative Flex plan applies a platform fee that varies by campaign type in exchange for keeping more donor-tip revenue. On top of either model, payment processors charge roughly 1.9-2.9% plus a fixed per-transaction fee, and there are no contracts, setup fees or minimum fees.

A distinctive strength is RallyUp's handling of game-based fundraising: it provides prewritten rules and a compliance review for raffles and sweepstakes, the latter structured with a free entry method so they can run in jurisdictions that restrict raffles. This makes it especially useful for US nonprofits running gaming-style campaigns. Organizations outside the US can use it too, though support for local European payment rails is limited and the interface is English-first.

Payments are processed through Stripe and PayPal, with cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay supported, and the platform can collect in a range of currencies based on each organization's primary-currency setting. Personal data and the service are hosted in the United States, which European organizations handling GDPR-sensitive donor data should weigh.
