Is my personal information shared with a third-party?
NO. We do not share any of your information gathered from any FanRaising campaign with third-parties. All contact/emails received by you and/or the sponsors are directly from FanRaising.
Getting Started
If you are ready to get your fundraiser started or if you still have questions, please reach out to us here.
Can donations be made by cash or check as well as online?
Yes, of course. All offline donations should be sent directly to the team or group. After the funds have been handed to the coach or team leader, they will notify someone in our office to add the funds to the account.
How will we receive our funds raised?
As soon as the campaign is over, we will distribute the funds to your group.
What happens if we go over our fundraising goal?
You have the option of turning off your fundraiser once you reach your goal, or you can leave it open and continue to take donations beyond your goal.
What happens if we don’t meet our fundraising goal?
Considering your fundraising goal is realistic, FanRaising will do everything to help you reach that goal. If for some reason the goal is not met, you will still receive the amount of funds raised once the fundraiser is complete.
How can I see how many donations I have and who has donated?
You will get an email every time someone donates to your fundraiser. We'll also provide a single report that lists all of your donors and the amounts donated.
Are donations tax-deductible?
Whether your donation is tax-deductible or not will depend on the organization or cause that you are donating towards. Please consult with your tax professional for advice in this regard.
How much does it cost?
It costs absolutely nothing to get started. We will build out your custom fundraising page for you, upload your video, optimize the fundraiser, reach out to your fans via email and text - all with no money up front. Once the fundraiser is complete, FanRaising.com does retain a portion of the money, which is usually less than 20%.
How much money can we raise?
The amount raised per group depends on the number of participants a group has and the outreach done by the group. The average raised per active participant is $300+ for a team-based fundraiser. Depending on group size, these drives will raise $10,000- $30,000.
What is FanRaising and how does this work?
FanRaising provides a platform to allow teams and groups to run their fundraiser hands-off and raise more money than ever before by taking online donations from their fans.
When a team signs up with FanRaising.com, there are no fees to get started. We build out a custom fundraising page for you and track progress towards your fundraising goal. We'll reach out to all of your fans - friends, family, neighbors - via email and text to solicit donations on your behalf.
