### "Look no further than Fundraise Up!"

July 9, 2026

5.0

Their customer support team is so responsive and incredibly kind. Love the product and constantly recommend it to other nonprofit friends.

Pros

Fundraise Up is an incredibly user-friendly platform that's on the cutting edge of the latest digital fundraising trends. We've been nothing but pleased with how easy it is to use the tool and the seamless check out process it offers our donors.

Cons

There's very small tweaks I would make to the product. Some additional reportable fields I wish were available such as a total transaction fee field. There are also some fields with the Virtuous integration I wish were available. Their peer-to-peer tool isn't as robust as Classy, but my understanding is their actively improving it.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Fundraise Up

Classy is more expensive and their fundraising tools weren't as robust or modern as FRU.

Jared, thanks for your kind words and for recommending us to your nonprofit friends! We're glad the platform has been easy to use and that the checkout experience has been a great one for your donors. Great feedback on the reporting fields and Virtuous integration. We appreciate you sharing the specifics and will make sure it gets to the right people. And on peer-to-peer - you're definitely going to like what's coming!

### "FundraiseUp is a product worth investing in"

July 21, 2026

5.0

My organization's overall experience with FundraiseUp has been fantastic. They offer so many great features and have been great for the years we've used the platform.

Pros

I enjoy the ease of the system and how much it can elevate the fundraising experience for your donors. With access to amazing elements, a reporting dashboard, and a donor portal, FundraiseUp does it all and for free. They do not charge for the platform use but based on each gift transaction at a competitive rate. The platform is easy to learn once you get into it. FundraiseUp offers multifactor authentication so you never have to worry about your donor's information being at risk. The platform also allows you to invite other team members on different permission based systems for what you'd need. Their customer and technical support teams have also been great whenever I needed their assistance.

Cons

The only con I could say about FundraiseUp is that they currently do not have event management software but they have assured me that it's on the roadmap.

### "Disappointed"

August 28, 2025

2.0

They started off great and it has been downhill. My account rep keeps changing which makes me think that they are not the best company to work for.

Pros

There are a lot of things I like about it. Ease of use, ability to create donation pages quickly are 2 examples

Cons

1\. For sure the cost--they gobble up a hefty percentage on each donation. I have emailed them multiple times about this but they don't respond. The total fee including Stripes 2.2% (for non profits) is usually around 7-8%. They will tell you "donors cover those fees 80-85% of the time." What they don't tell you or know, is despite donors covering the fees, how many email complaints I get from donors about the high fees. I spend a lot of time "defending" FundraiseUp and their exorbitant fees. 2. The campaign pages are not very versatile. You are limited to your logo, space for a header/pic and text. 3. Their campaign pages are not robust enough---for example I was trying to do a campaign were donors can sponsor different items. I wanted to have a checkout where they could choose an item to donate and quantity. FundraiseUp can only create a dollar amount and description. There is no possibility for anything else. I asked them if they have a thermometer that I can put on my donation page--they don't have it--they just have a progress slider which is not the same thing. There are very few elements that they offer for your campaign pages. 3. They have no integration for donating using a card swiper like Paypal has or Square. At events this is so critical but they don't have it. 4. When a donor donates they get an automated receipt/response which is used for filing their taxes. However, at the end of the year many of my donors as me for a consolidated report of all their donation in one document they can file for their taxes. I have to tell them that they got a doc each time they donated. Now some of the donors have give 10-20 times over the year! There is no feature on FundraiseUp to give a donor one document generated automatically with all their donations including a personalized text from us about the tax deuctibility

### "We LOVE Fundraise UP!"

August 5, 2026

5.0

Our overall experience with Fundraise Up has been excellent. The platform has helped us create a more seamless and user-friendly giving experience for our donors while also making our fundraising processes more efficient behind the scenes. Since implementing Fundraise Up, we have seen substantial growth in our recurring giving program and have been able to automate processes that previously required significant manual effort. This has saved our team valuable time and allowed us to focus more on donor engagement and mission-driven work. Features like digital tribute e-cards have also been especially valuable, allowing us to enhance the donor experience while reducing printing, postage, and administrative costs. We greatly appreciate the exceptional support from our Customer Success Manager and the Fundraise Up team, who are responsive, knowledgeable, and invested in helping us succeed. Fundraise Up has been a great partner in helping us modernize our online fundraising efforts, improve our donor experience, and better serve our supporters.

Pros

\- Outstanding customer service and support from our CSM. - User-friendly for both staff and donors. - Simple donation process with multiple payment options. - Modern, highly customizable donation forms. - Regular product updates and new features, with the team actively listening to customer feedback. - Excellent donor portal that makes it easy for supporters to manage their own information and recurring gifts. - Strong integrations that help streamline our fundraising operations.

Cons

\- We would appreciate more flexibility with donor data fields. Despite multiple requests, a middle name field is still not available, which would be helpful for maintaining complete donor records. - Some updates have reduced the simplicity of certain workflows. For example, moving Elements analytics into Insights provides more robust reporting, but we miss having quick, at-a-glance performance metrics directly within the Elements tab for everyday monitoring. - We would like to see more automation around recurring tribute e-cards. Currently, tribute e-cards are only triggered for the initial recurring gift and require manual follow-up for future recurring donations.

### "An Authentic Partnership"

July 21, 2026

5.0

From our initial sales experience (WIth \[sensitive content hidden\]) to our current CSM (Wil P.), it is evident that Fundraise Up has high standards for their team members. There is a shared purpose with transparency and authenticity along the way. Many vendors try too hard to 'sell' their features and benefits. Fundraise Up presents themselves as collaborators and problem solvers and not a 'band aid' to fix broken systems. I'm grateful for their guidance and partnership during our entire transition and we are finding more and more benefits of the platform that will continue to increase our fundraising efforts.

Pros

I appreciate that Fundraise Up is constantly iterating to improve their product based on customer feedback. Their philosophy is that they are not successful unless the client is successful and we have found that to be true.

Cons

It's hard to identify a 'least' favorite related to Fundraise Up when our experience has been largely positive. One thing I might address is some of/how the data gets pushed to our CRM through the integrations isn't ideal. But these are issues the team is trying to help us resolve. We recognize that a single platform cannot be all things to all people. But gosh, Fundraise Up does a great job in trying to help us problem solve when we identify these challenges!

### "FundraiseUp is an excellent fundraising system"

July 10, 2026

5.0

Support is excellent. They are helpful and quick to provide information to resolve any issues. I like the user interface and implementing campaigns is very easy. The search functionality is excellent as well.

Pros

FundraiseUp is the easiest fundraising software to use that is available. It is intuitive, easy to set up and provides great information about donors. The value for the cost of the system is outstanding.

Cons

There are no user-ready reports. This could be improved. Typically, LYBUNT and SYBUNT reports are available in fundraising software. These and simple reports all have to be built through exports.

### "It's a win for us!"

July 31, 2026

5.0

There's nothing but good things to say about Tacoma Humane's experience with Fundraise Up! We love it and so do our donors.

Pros

Not only does Fundraise Up power our online giving (and acknowledgments), but they have a number of elements to enhance giving on an org's website. If you visit our website now, you'll likely see the "social proof" element, which highlights giving for whichever campaign the org enables. Also, the pre-gift and post-gift upgrades to monthly giving has been a powerful tool for growing our recurring gift program without much staff lift. For example, in the first two months of 2026 alone, we had 88 new monthly donors sign up through FRU.

Cons

We have had a couple of savvy donors question why the fee is so high when they opt to cover transaction fees.

### "Easy to use giving platform"

July 21, 2026

4.0

Overall, we've been very pleased with Fundraise Up. The donation forms and elements look great, and we love that they have figured out what works best with donors so we don't stray too far.

Pros

Fundraise Up is extremely easy to use. They are constantly adding products, which gives us more fundraising options, like landing pages that are quick and easy to build, and video options to replace static photos.

Cons

Only recently have we been having some issues with the integration between it and our CRM, Virtuous.

### "One of the best technology partners I've worked with"

July 27, 2026

5.0

Fundraise Up has set a high bar for what a nonprofit technology partner should be: innovative, mission-aligned, relentlessly focused on the donor experience, and staffed by people who care deeply about both their customers and the sector. I recommend them without hesitation.

Pros

Fundraise Up's platform is built around a genuinely frictionless donor experience, and every feature feels thoughtfully designed and thoroughly tested before it reaches customers. Their investment in AI-powered capabilities, combined with an ambitious product roadmap, demonstrates a company that is constantly innovating while listening closely to customer feedback. Time and again, we've seen them deliver meaningful enhancements faster than expected. One aspect I especially appreciate is their values-aligned pricing model. There are no implementation fees or ongoing account fees. They only succeed when their platform helps organizations raise more. That alignment creates a true partnership rather than a traditional vendor relationship. Just as impressive as the product is the team behind it. Every interaction has been with people who are exceptionally talented, responsive, and genuinely invested in our success. They embody a customer-first culture that feels authentic, not performative. It's also clear that Fundraise Up invests in its own people; when employees enjoy where they work, it shows in the quality of the service they provide.

Cons

I'll let you know if I find something! I haven't yet found any faults with the product. Challenges only occur when my organization has a nuanced business need unique to us.

### "Just What We Needed!"

April 15, 2020

5.0

We were transitioning from a platform we loved but was too expensive and it was a seamless transition. The team was attentive and ensured we were knowledgable on all the capabilities of the platform. We've seen a tremendous increase in donations using this tool and with the added features like tributes, company match, etc. those make donors return as well.

Pros

The dashboard is the most user-friendly and I REALLY like the machine learning capabilities which helps us with higher conversion on donations. I also love the company match program which has helped increase our matched donations.

Cons

I wish there was a bit more detail in the dashboard when you select a certain time frame - being able to see details on daily donations up front would be helpful.

Cons

Pros

Fundraise Up has changed the game for us. It allows us to have easy-to-use elements on our website, encourage donations gently but effectively, bolster our monthly giving program, and even cut down on the amount of credit card fees we pay because Fundraise Up encourages donors to cover the fees themselves!Plus, their customer service is quick to respond, answer questions, implement ideas, and help us understand and best utilize their software for our needs.

Cons

### "Helps us devote more time to our programs"

July 17, 2020

5.0

Fundraise Up gives our donors a wealth of giving options (Stripe, PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay, etc.) that we could never have supported previously with our small staff. And the integration into our website has improved online giving because it's front-and-center (and not in an obnoxious way!) and easy to use. A few of our donors have a recurring complaint that the fees seem higher, but we have better messaging now about what the fees do in terms of what the fees cover and that they allow us to devote more time to our programs. Thank you Fundraise Up!!

Pros

With it's automated integration to our CRM, and easy integration into our website, we are able to save time on data entry and spend it instead on communicating with our donors. The integration was quick and Fundraise Up support staff made it simple. There are some features that would make Fundraise Up easier to tailor and integrate into our specific need, but in the short time we've used it, we've enjoyed several product upgrades, and we've found Fundraise Up people to be great listeners!

Cons

Fundraise Up is really easy-to-use. Graphics was sort of a trial-and-error process, but Fundraise Up has improved its user-friendliness there. Would like more types of reporting available (but export, to work Excel, is comprehensive) so I could more easily sync minor system details with my CRM that do not work the way I had hoped. As far as integration with our existing business processes (such as backend financial reconciliations), we have more detail work to do, but with Fundraise Up, the detail is possible. Other solutions we've seen don't allow that at all.

Reason for choosing Fundraise Up

It interfaced with our CRM (Bloomerang). In fact, that's how we heard about it and were pretty much sold as soon as we watched a demo!

I've used many platforms in the past and have yet to find something like FundraiseUp. What they do they do really well. Customer service is simply outstanding, the team is phenomenal and always willing to help. My clients have significantly increased in donations just by moving to FundraiseUp. Their widgets are phenomenal, easy to use and excellent at conversion. These guys have truly mastered it. I can not recommend them enough.

Pros

FundraiseUp is simply outstanding. They do one thing and they do it very well. They are masters at fundraising tools and I've seen many clients increase their fundraising significantly just by switching to FundraiseUp. Their UX is phenomenal and truly increases conversion.

Cons

### "Fundraise Up- A Must for Digital Giving"

September 24, 2021

5.0

We've been impressed by the Fundraise Up experience. Besides seeing an increase in overall donations, we've seen less abandoned checkout, increased monthly donations, increased mobile donations, and increased coverage of transaction fees.

Pros

The Fundraise Up platform is easy to use and implement and you'll immediately see gains in online donations. The team is supportive and always there to give helpful tips to maximize your giving.

Cons

Fundraise Up is a mass market tool and encourage gifts mostly at the bottom of the pyramid. You cannot customize gift range by donors, so lift in mid-level program is not as great, but overall gains are worth the switch.

January 8, 2021

5.0

Fundraise Up has really added fresh fuel to our fundraising efforts. Pandemic or no pandemic, our organization cares for more than 600 orphans around the world. FRU has certainly played a role in achieving our goal of "not one child missing a single meal" thus far.

Pros

I was a bit skeptical at first because the platform promised so much. Can they really deliver? Then, during a major fundraising webinar (that I signed up for months before I even heard about Fundraise Up) I realized that my favorite speaker of the entire event turns out to be our onboarding expert! Go figure! Fundraise Up transformed our fundraising efforts. Love the recurring giving option. This fundraising platform does deliver on what it promises, and then some. FRU's expertise, ease of use, exemplary customer care, and seamless integration with our CRM make this platform a powerful tool to the success of our mission.

Cons

If I did have a wish list it would include: Text-to-Give option and ability to add FRU donate button to a video.

### "Top Notch Support"

October 22, 2020

5.0

\[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] is the best Onboarding and Support Manager we could have been paired with to understand if Fundraise Up was the integration for us to go with and to help us every step of the way to going live. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] has been professional, understanding, knowledgeable, and able to help us navigate getting ready to go live with online giving in the midst of a CRM conversion. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] went above and beyond for us when he took time outside of work hours to help us - which he did not have to do. FRU has a customer-focused, servant leader with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\]. We're thrilled to have a platform that has all the bells and whistles, but also to have a pro like \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] in our corner.

Pros

Where do I start? There are features like: the 'heart' that beats, flutters, and captures attention in multiple elements; the AI on monthly giving configurations and requests; the dashboard of metrics; and, well, really all of it. It is light years ahead of the Online Express form that we were activating through NXT.

### "A good but expensive choice"

December 10, 2020

5.0

Pros

FundraiseUp has made our donation platform much for appealing for donors, has been more likely to get us monthly donors, and the admin and reporting has been very easy to unpack.

Cons

The fees are a tough thing to get over. As a small nonprofit, it doesn't feel good to see your donors' dollars going to pay for the service of fundraising instead of your programs. Most of our donors pay the fees, which is great! But it's double the amount they were paying on our integrated platform. Obviously, the service and product is great and costs money -- just saying it's hard to see money, whether we pay it or donors pay it, going to a third party. It's one of those pay-to-play decisions as competition is fierce.

Hi Sara, thanks for sharing your feedback. I want to make sure you always have a great experience with us, and I'm seeing that there's an opportunity to get Stripe's nonprofit discount for 10 Thousand Windows. I'll have your Success Engineer connect with you to get that in place :) We're here to help your organization grow, which is why the small platform fee is the only cost to use Fundraise Up. I'm happy to see that almost all of your donors are furthering their support by covering that fee. P.S. Looking forward to see your monthly donor program continue to grow! Nic

It has been so easy and complete, when we need help they are all over it and it is done!

Pros

It is like adding a development team on our website, and our donations amount has increased each month.

At the very beginning we needed some features to work with our donor software and they made it happen.

### "Best in class giving platform"

April 15, 2020

Fundraise Up offers charities the advanced features available to major online retailers, like Amazon, Target, etc., that help drive higher conversion. It’s great to finally see these sophisticated tools available to our industry!

Pros

Incredible features, far beyond similar service offerings on the market.

Cons

There isn’t much negotiation available on their fee structure, but it is reasonable and helps pay for continued platform advancement and improvement.

### "Great platform "

August 28, 2020

5.0

Pros

Donation forms are very easy to set up and customize and look great. They recently released an integration with Raiser’s Edge NXT which has been a huge time saver. Their customer service is A+.

Cons

Honestly, I don’t have any cons. Even the most minor annoyance is fixed quickly by contacting customer service. And they often release updates so it’s improving all the time.

### "A wonderful way to spur more online donations"

September 9, 2020

5.0

wonderful so far. and the service is incredible. your team is responsive and very helpful

Pros

The incredible UX design and the AI power has already increased our fundraising. We have more people signing up for monthly donations, and more donors completing online gifts than before. The nice design and quality of the page is definitely the best part

Cons

It would be great to be able to add new recurring donors in the backend of the system. We have roughly 200 recurring donors who are being processed by our CRM, but it would be great to transition them over to Fundraise Up more easily

Reason for choosing Fundraise Up

I like the design of fundraise up more
