### "Reliable Digital Fundraising Platform with Exceptional Support"

March 19, 2026

5.0

We have been able to leverage Funraise to boost our Digital Fundraising program over the last 9 years. Today, we use the Funraise platform to solicit one-time gifts, monthly subscriptions, run emergency campaigns, host P2P fundraising, support Corporate Partnerships, and host small cultivation and fundraising events. It integrates with our Salesforce environment in a very robust way so we get a 360 degree view of our donors. The support staff know their product well and are determined to help us create or find solutions for all our needs.

Pros

Funraise's customer service is excellent - they are very responsive to issues and inquiries we have about the platform. They work closely with us to resolve problems and to tailor the platform to meet our needs. They have even worked with us on some custom solutions that were later rolled out as platform features!

Cons

It took them a very long time to release a donor portal even though we had been asking for one for years. The one they now have is a bit limited, but I am hoping it will be come more robust with time so our donors and self-service their recurring donations more easily and get copies of receipts.

Hi Michelle! Thanks you for your detailed review and feedback. We appreciate you &lt;3 I just wanted to confirm that the donor portal does enable your donors to resend donation receipts and manage recurring subscription details such as amount, frequency, payment methods, as well as cancelling the subscription. As always, if you have any questions about this, we're here to help!

### "A Solid Donation Platform with Room to Grow"

April 24, 2026

4.0

Funraise is a capable, user-friendly platform that delivers real value for nonprofits looking to manage and grow their fundraising. The helpful staff and ongoing product improvements make it easy to recommend — but prospective customers should go in with eyes open about account management continuity and the full scope of fees. With some improvements in those areas, this could easily be a five-star product.

Pros

Ease of use is a real strength here. The platform has a relatively short learning curve, making it accessible even for team members who aren't especially tech-savvy. Onboarding didn't feel overwhelming, and day-to-day use is straightforward. The Funraise team is also notably helpful. Whenever we've needed support, staff have been responsive and willing to work through issues with us. You can tell there's genuine investment in customer success. Perhaps most encouragingly, the platform continues to improve. Updates and new features roll out with some regularity, which signals that the team is listening to user feedback and actively investing in the product.

Cons

Staff turnover and account management transitions are handled poorly. On more than one occasion, our client service manager changed without any proactive communication from Funraise. Finding out your main point of contact has changed — after the fact — creates unnecessary friction and can slow down issue resolution. Pricing transparency is another area that needs work. The fee structure can feel misleading at first glance, with certain charges that aren't immediately obvious during the sales or onboarding process. Nonprofits operating on tight budgets need to scrutinize the full pricing breakdown carefully before committing to any add-on's.

May 19, 2026

3.0

It is a good tool but has lots of quirks in the backend. I was reaching out to the help team daily to better understand how to get the page to look the way I wanted. Overall, user friendly though.

Pros

The easy peer to peer tool that employees could share out to raise money. The helpful help team that responded quickly.

Cons

The challenging integration with Daxko that requires lots of work. It does not transfer all information over and still requires steps to have them land correctly in Daxko.

### "Smooth transition! "

June 12, 2026

5.0

It has been an easy transition and much supported. We are still working on getting it marketed properly but any questions we have had have been taken care of immediately!

Pros

The Funraise transition team was so easy to work with. They were there every step of the way explaining, updating, educating, and trouble shooting. They were what you want in a transition like this.

Cons

There was not a lot that I didn't like about switching over. If I had to say something, maybe a writing out plan or two on how to execute your first monthly donor drive or staff fundraise drive competition. They talk about how other businesses have done them, but I would have loved information on how they were done.

### "Excellent Experience - BEST customer service!"

March 25, 2026

5.0

I have never felt like I wasn't in competent hands with Funraise. Their customer service is quick and they help us create ways to organize our data that feel custom and specific to our needs - and our org has very specific needs!

Pros

The customer support! There have been so many changes at our org and Funraise has helped us pivot to meet the needs of a merger + major data organizing overhaul - and never compromised what we had built with our donors and advocates! They go above and beyond to help us build what we need via Funraise Intelligence dashboards, etc.

Cons

I wish there were better de-duping features so that we could better troubleshoot duplicate accounts and update data simply for all of our donors/advocates.

### "Growing Together Since 2017"

November 21, 2025

5.0

Overall, our experience has been excellent! Funraise consistently welcomes feedback and enhances its product in meaningful ways. We primarily use Funraise for secure online payments with a mobile-friendly interface, automatic generation of receipts, and hosting campaigns with a fundraising goal and progress/status bar. This platform allows us to fundraise responsibly without a development team, but if we had one, we would be unstoppable. Here’s to raising enough funds to grow our team and reach even more impact. Funraise remains a reliable, evolving partner in our fundraising work, helping us achieve more while supporting the nonprofit sector as a whole.

Pros

We’ve been with Funraise since 2017 and have truly grown alongside the company. It’s clear Funraise was built by people who understand the nonprofit world and genuinely want to see the sector thrive — including small organizations like ours. Our success managers have always been attentive, thoughtful, and eager to share new and creative ideas. The peer-to-peer platform is seamless, and supporters of all ages and abilities can easily interact with it.

Cons

While Funraise is constantly improving, some of the newer features take a little time to fully explore and integrate into our workflow. That said, the team is always responsive and helpful in guiding us through updates.

### "Best decision! No regrets. "

November 14, 2025

5.0

Pros

We have been using Funraise for over 7 years and are so grateful we chose them when we did! After sitting through demo after demo, it was clear Funraise was an innovative startup looking to serve their nonprofit clients in the best possible way and had a clean user experience. They have continued launching new and helpful features, like relationship tracking, annual reporting, texting to donors within Funraise, AI giving suggestions, and more! Not only is this a great donor management CRM software, but the team is incredible if you ever need support. They deeply care about their customers as well as building the nonprofit community. We can't say enough good things about them!

Cons

The only thing that really makes it challenging is being able to log checks that we get each month as recurring gifts in the system. We've found work-arounds for it, but it requires more manual tracking than desired. There's no perfect software out there, but Funraise is pretty dang close! The Intelligence Software has a steep learning curve but is incredibly powerful to use.

### "Wonderful Online Platform"

November 20, 2025

5.0

"Funraise has been a great online platform for our organization. The system is easy to use, and their support team is always quick to answer any questions—both through chat and direct support. Their responsiveness and helpfulness make a big difference. I’m happy to recommend Funraise!"

Pros

What I like most about Funraise is how easy it was to learn and start using. It made our special event ticket sales simple to manage, and I love that I can quickly print a ticket list for check-in or easily check guests off directly from the list. The online training videos were also extremely helpful and made the setup process smooth. Funraise has truly streamlined our event and donation workflow.

Cons

Funraise has a great dashboard that provides a helpful snapshot of our fundraising—donations raised, number of donors, new donors, new recurring donors for the last 7, 30, and 90 days, along with useful pie charts, yearly performance data, and LYBUNT retention information. The only thing I wish Funraise offered is the ability to export the donor names and details displayed on the dashboard. Having an export option would make it even more valuable for analysis and reporting.

### "The Team at Funraise is Ready to Help!"

November 7, 2025

4.0

Overall, Funraise has been a great tool for our non-profit. It's been easy for our donors to use quick pay options like Apple Pay, Venmo, and PayPal. For our team, it has been insightful to have all these reporting options.

Pros

The team at Funraise is so on top of it. If you have a question about how to do something on the platform, they are very quick to respond to your request and will even send you a video tutorial or schedule a Zoom call to walk you through it. I really appreciate the fast and thorough response!

Cons

The intelligence side of Funraise is so specific and adept at pulling reports that it can sometimes be challenging to determine how to retrieve the exact report you're looking for. Their team is always quick to help walk you through it so you can effectively (and quickly) pull the reports you need.

Its been amazing to work with \[sensitive content hidden\] , hes been helpful and always ready to answer and jump on a call to help setting things up when theres a problem or help needed. The responses are very quick and makes the support needed so much better and more helpful. My overall experience has been amazing and cant complain about anything.

The simplicity in data management and set up of forms and campaigns to be able to run smoothly and easy enough for anyone to use.

Cons

### "What makes Funraise so great is the team behind their product"

August 26, 2022

4.0

I would say our overall experience has been very positive with Funraise. There have definitely been some issues we've run into, but they have been quick to find resolutions.

Pros

Funraise is quite user-friendly on both the front-end and back-end and the layouts for their Peer to Peer and donation forms are well though out. The best decision for us in getting this software was to pay the additional for the added account support.\[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] is hands down one of the best account execs I've ever dealt with. His knowledge of the platform and ability to offer solutions to issues that crop up is top notch. I also like the fact that the entire team is always looking to improve its product. When I give feedback, I know it's being taken seriously and that changes/improvements are always being made.

Cons

I do think that the Peer to Peer software could be improved to make the load time of Fundraisers quicker. It could also offer more templated language for people who sign up as a fundraiser. That process can often be overwhelming for people and they often don't know what to write. Certain things are not intuitive.

March 9, 2021

It's great - being a small team and at times a 1 man team when it comes to the development side Funraise automates many tasks as well as helps keep us very organized.

Pros

It's very easy to use, and has all features under one roof: event, peer to peer, recurring donors, donation button, social media, texting, and I'm sure I'm even missing other features. The integrations to email marketing, company matching, and wealth screenings are also very simple and easy.

Cons

There are some limitations to bulk action items that could make management easier as well as some manual specific limitations to the text feature.

Reason for choosing Funraise

simplicity, price, and a customer service/system rep assigned to you. They are easy to get it touch with and help you with any issue, and are very helpful in helping execute ideas as well. You are definitely not alone in figuring anything out. If your rep doesn't know the direct fix at the moment - they will not jerk you around or buy time, they will be honest with you and find an answer to your questions. It is a joy to work with their team with all our events, donating campaigns, etc. They are definitely part of the team.

July 22, 2020

5.0

Funraise has become a tremendous support system upon which to build our marketing and fundraising efforts. Their teams are friendly and responsive, and they are constantly providing free knowledge and resources which help inform our efforts. The platform is constantly improving as well, with new releases regularly.

Pros

Funraise combines every tool a non-profit organization may need to be successful into one easy-to-use platform, at a reasonable price point. Being able to manage donation forms, email automation, peer-to-peer fundraising and donation data analytics in one place is a welcomed addition to our tool kit and is already paying dividends.

Cons

There's not much to dislike. It's very intuitive and easy to use, even right out of the box. An end-to-end SMS marketing approach would be a nice feature addition that would help enhance donor communication.

Reason for choosing Funraise

Funraise provides the most comprehensive solution to address all of our needs. Rather than paying multiple vendors to manage multiple "pieces" of the process, we found Funraise to deliver in all areas, and allow us to become platform experts in one place rather than learning a little about a large number of products. The team is awesome. Our account execs and support team members have been phenomenal. The company leadership is forward thinking and always pushing for the next great version of their product. Highly recommend!

March 9, 2021

5.0

Funraise has allowed our organization to enter a new tech era of online fundraising and given us the tools to elevate our mission and support nationally. We are so happy to have found this platform just in time. Our donors love it, our team loves it, and we love it. Thank you!

Pros

Funraise's interface is incredibly user-friendly and designed simplistically, making it easy for anyone on a team to be easily onboarded and made to feel like they understand how to use the most advanced features. The support network and personal Funraise Customer Success Manager assigned to your organization make all the difference. Knowing there is someone to help you answer even the most basic questions and offer endless support has been game-changing. Shoutout to our CSM, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] for being so kind and helpful.

Cons

I hope there is more investment in the direct messaging of donors in the future. It would be really helpful to be able to one day be able to communicate with donors directly through the platform and/or make email campaigns more functional through the platform itself without having to integrate a third part application. This would elevate Funraise to another level.

Specifically \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] our Customer Success Manager. Anytime I need help or need support on something she goes above and beyond.

Pros

Funraise is the combination of all of the best things from the top tier CRM solutions, but its easy to use. As a non-profit we are constantly trying to save time and energy to focus our time on our purpose, Funraise lets us do that.

Cons

If I could improve anything it would be the cost.

December 2, 2025

4.0

Overall, great product, and stella support! We've built many websites on the platform, and will continue to create more.

Pros

Support from the fundraise team has been nothing but outstanding - They're always responsive and get back to me in a timely manner.

Cons

Some language used does not match up with non-profit terms. Learning curve if you don't know HTML code can be a challenge.

My overall experience has been great and I highly recommend Funraise!

Pros

Customer service, ease of the software, organization of the software, little to no problems with the software, reasonable in cost.

Cons

I wish they sent out a yearly tax deduction email automatically to all my donors instead of me having to set it up myself every year.

Hi Lea! Thanks so much for your review and feedback. We're thrilled to hear that you are happy with Funraise and our support :) Regarding pricing and fees, Funraise's fee model is one of the most friendly models available to nonprofit organizations. With our Donors Cover Fees plan, we make possible a 0% effective platform fee rate. Funraise also offers several pricing plans and we encourage you to reach out if you'd like to learn more about different pricing options based on the needs of your organization.

### "GRF Review of Funraise"

June 16, 2021

4.0

Great customer service, but for the platform there needs to be more customization and easier workflow between events, gift forms etc. You have to really make sure you save before you move on.

Pros

Has ApplePay and PayPal. Fairly easy to set up a campaign.

Cons

On the Funraise platform, I find the integration of Sites, Events, Tickets, and Giving Forms to be confusing. Also, the Funraise platform has been changing, so it’s hard to know where to begin. Overall, it’s fairly easy to set up a campaign site. But it’s not always clear how to customize sections, what can be customized or changed and what can’t, etc. Sometimes the interface for editing text is problematic, such as when you want to edit white text and the editing area has a white background. Overall, it works fine but there is a lot of room for improvement in my opinion. More report functions would be good; one report I need has to be requested (we just want mailing addresses with everything else, so this should be a standard report).

### "Great Customer Service From \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and others"

February 25, 2021

3.0

The customer service and patience from \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] has been the best part of it. His help, knowledge and responsiveness is what makes Funraise worth the cost. Another program might have more bells and whistles -- but a young man who responds like he does -- is the bells and whistles.

Pros

As a development professional I appreciate that their is a free version for less experienced people.

Cons

The software seems to not have been designed for experienced Development professionals who want to use the features and events that other platforms like Greater Giving provide. Limited customization, limited buttons, etc. That being said you should design your software to ask the user what are you trying to do and then take them through the steps, IE. Are you holding a gala? Yes. Do you have an auction at your gala YEs....then you build a skeleton platform for them. Why don't you send me emails using your own platform. I set up a page for example? then you send me an email afterwards and on a regular basis that walks me through another feature I can or should be suing. There's just too much to discover on my own.

Hi Lori, thanks for your feedback! We just want to note that it sounds like you're utilizing a limited set of Funraise features based on your plan, but there's lots more... as you noted. "There's just too much to discover on my own." To help out, we'd love to provide an advanced demo to help you take advantage of everything Funraise has to offer and show you how Funraise is powering international organizations raising millions online. We'll reach out to schedule a call. Thanks again!

### "Funraise will help take your fundraising to the next level!"

February 6, 2019

5.0

As an organization, we are trying to build up individual contributions as a funding stream. Before using Funraise, we were mostly relying on larger, one-time donations from those in our area who were already familiar with our work. These were few and far between, however. Funraise has allowed us to make a start at engaging more frequent and smaller dollar, recurring donors. We're still in the process of figuring out what our next steps will be (most likely an event-centric campaign), but the platform has made our work much easier in this regard. Everyone we've worked with at Funraise, especially our Customer Support Manager, has been both incredibly helpful and a pleasure to work with, even when the inevitable bumps in the road arose. Their knowledge base regarding both the platform and any technical support (coding, etc.) proved indispensable. And the software itself has created greater possibilities for fundraising than we could've imagined. For us, the Funraise platform has been well worth it!

Pros

Before using Funraise, we were stuck with an older platform that not only didn't engage current and potential donors but also didn't allow us to track the money in an efficient way as it came in. Maintaining a spreadsheet of donations as they trickled in was ungainly and didn't make the donor feel as though their contribution was appreciated by our organization. Using Funraise, the ability to add offline donations has been a huge plus for us on this front, our Customer Support Manager, and the others at Funraise we reached out to were incredibly helpful as our staff member tasked with learning and deploying the platform worked through updating our donation page and building our first campaign site. The platform's updated, straightforward interface made things even easier for us. As far as our donation page and first campaign site, we saw an appreciable increase in donations. When issues came up, Funraise Support readily provided effective solutions to them. Funraise allowed us to reach people who were previously unaware of our work, and thus unaware of the impact their contributions could make to furthering it.

Cons

The act of changing the template wiping out all the campaign page content initially caused some trouble for us, but only because we missed the warning on the editor.
