Funraise

De review

Funraise is a US all-in-one fundraising platform for nonprofits, created by a team of nonprofit professionals who had spent years raising money online before building it. It brings donation forms, recurring giving, peer-to-peer fundraising, events and ticketing, auctions, and a donor CRM together in a single system aimed at small and mid-size organizations.

Payment processing runs through Stripe, with a notably broad set of donor options for a US platform: cards, ACH, PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay, DAFpay donor-advised-fund giving, stock donations, and cryptocurrency. The platform offers a no-cost entry tier and paid Premium plans, with most donors choosing to cover transaction costs so organizations retain more of each gift.

Funraise's strength is breadth built by people who understand nonprofit workflows - recurring giving, peer-to-peer, and events all share one donor record and reporting layer. The trade-off is that it explicitly targets organizations under roughly a million dollars in revenue, so the largest enterprises may need more, and it is US-oriented. For growing small and mid-size nonprofits this consolidation is valuable; for very large or non-US organizations it may not fit.

Premium tiers unlock peer-to-peer fundraising, wealth screening, SMS messaging, auctions, sub-accounts, and advanced reporting, while the entry tier covers a single donation form, basic donor management, and events. Support quality is a recurring highlight, though processing and operations are US-anchored without European local payment rails.
