Put Australian product fundraising online
Raised is built for groups that need to sell fundraising products and manage the orders. Choose your products, set the campaign details and share a link. Supporters can place orders online, while the organiser follows the campaign from the dashboard.
Before launching, confirm your supplier's price and lead time. Decide the collection arrangements and explain them clearly on the campaign page. Your margin depends on the product cost and campaign expenses, not only the amount supporters spend.
Choose donations or an athon when they fit better
Some projects are easier to fund through a clear donation appeal. Others suit a school read-a-thon or a club activity that supporters can sponsor. Raised lets your group choose the campaign format for the purpose and audience.
For Australian campaigns, check the pricing rules that apply to your chosen format. Product prices can include card fees, and available offline payment methods depend on your settings. Donation fees and product-sale proceeds need to be considered separately when setting your target.
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.
For Australian product campaigns, fees can be built into the prices supporters see. Campaigns using that setting are card only; cash and bank transfer are available when the organisation absorbs card fees instead. Donation fees come out of the donation unless the donor chooses to cover them.
