How It Works
The Participant Experience
REGISTER
Parents use the school’s unique registration link to register their child for the fundraiser. They enter emails of friends and family who are likely to support the school & students choose ways to pay their donors generosity forward - either from our curated list or by creating their own!
RAISE MONEY
Donors are motivated to give based on the causes you share (ex. field trips, technology, playground equipment), and they love knowing students will be showing kindness to others in their honor.
PAY IT FORWARD
During the fundraiser, students pay their donors generosity forward by completing Acts of Kindness for others! Unlike pledge-based models, students will be giving back regardless of receiving any individual donations. This fosters unity within the school community and ensures everyone can participate, regardless of socio-economic status.
“I will never use a different company…”
Raise Craze is the most amazing fundraising platform and I will never use a different company! They walk you through literally every single step and have endless ideas, checklists, and docs available for you to use. Whenever I had a question, I received an almost immediate response! They built custom reports for me which made my life much easier! They provide trainings on various topics and share best practices. What an amazing company!
