    About the Tool

    What is Funraise?

    Funraise is an all-in-one modern fundraising platform designed specifically for nonprofits that want to maximize online donations through innovative technology and donor-centered design. Serving organizations of all sizes—from small grassroots groups raising under $100K annually to large institutions processing millions in donations—Funraise combines powerful AI-driven donation optimization, elegant design, and comprehensive donor management tools to create exceptional giving experiences that convert more visitors into donors. The platform is built around the principle that fundraising technology should amplify nonprofit impact, not drain resources, which is why Funraise eliminates traditional platform transaction fees through their innovative "donors cover fees" model where approximately 90% of supporters voluntarily cover processing costs, allowing organizations to receive 100% of donation amounts.

    Funraise's core capabilities center on AppealAI-powered donation forms that achieve 50% average conversion rates—dramatically higher than industry benchmarks—through intelligent ask amounts that adapt to donor capacity, personalized suggested giving levels based on past behavior, dynamic content that adjusts messaging based on referral source, and frictionless checkout experiences optimized for mobile and desktop. The platform includes recurring donation management with automated renewal reminders and smart retention campaigns, peer-to-peer fundraising that enables supporters to create personal campaigns on behalf of your organization, event ticketing and registration with customizable attendee experiences, fundraising websites built on your donation forms without requiring a full CMS, automated donor receipts and communications, wealth screening to identify major gift prospects within your donor base, fundraising intelligence dashboards that surface actionable insights about donor behavior and campaign performance, and text-to-give and text engagement tools for SMS-based fundraising and donor communications.

    For small to mid-sized nonprofits, Funraise's Free Essentials plan offers remarkable value, providing unlimited donation forms, up to 1,000 supporter records, recurring giving management, event ticketing, basic integrations (Mailchimp, QuickBooks, Salesforce), and automated donor communications—all at $0/month with a 5% platform fee that's typically covered by donors. Organizations processing higher volumes or needing advanced capabilities can upgrade to the Standard plan (custom pricing, typically starting around $99-$199/month for mid-sized organizations) which unlocks unlimited donor records, peer-to-peer fundraising, advanced custom fields, additional integrations including Raiser's Edge NXT, and Facebook pixel integration for retargeting campaigns. The Premium plan (starting at $99/month billed annually, often $150-$300/month for larger organizations) adds fundraising intelligence powered by AI analytics, wealth screening to identify major donor prospects, text engagement and text-to-give, subaccounts for chapters or programs, API access for custom integrations, and a dedicated customer success manager. All plans benefit from Funraise's no-setup-fee policy, white-glove onboarding and data migration, mobile-optimized experiences, and transparent pricing where platform fees are optional (covered by donors) rather than mandatory.
