Also the question and answer bit feels over complicated from a data perspective.

Development Director

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.

Director of Development

The platform offers strong donor management and fundraising capabilities, and the customer support has been one of the biggest strengths. While there can be a learning curve with some of the features, the available training resources and responsive support team make it much easier to get up and running. Once you learn the system, it can be a very powerful tool for nonprofit fundraising and donor engagement.

President

They require a complicated coding option to add foreign currencies and only offer progress bars on campaign pages, which are useless to us, and not on the forms themselves.

Social Impact And Fundraising Manager

The automation around recurring gifts, receipts, and basic donor follow‑ups saves a lot of admin time for a small team.

Operations Manager

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!

Director of Communication

We use it as our central fundraising hub, covering CRM and donor giving, Giving Tuesday, event-based fundraising, peer-to-peer campaigns, and year-end appeals.

Executive Director

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.

Director of Operations

Funraise is a capable, user-friendly platform that delivers real value for nonprofits looking to manage and grow their fundraising.

I have attempted to use it to record contributions without having to use my laptop, and I have not been able to enter it on the app.

They also have a robust help center and Fundraiser University with easy-to-follow articles and videos that make learning the platform much easier.

For a platform that both charges monthly fees and adds on platform fees (asking for more than 10% in some cases), the features that this company offers are very disappointing.

The donation forms, peer‑to‑peer pages, and campaign sites look modern and are easy for donors to use, which has helped improve conversion and donor experience.

They have a very slick marketing push that offers all these bells and whistles but when you dig in, they don't offer many standard things that others who don't charge offer.

Operations

How making the donation pages east access as well as creating our fundraiser page i enjoy doing that

Director of Individudal Giving

Have been using the Funraise platform for over a year, but only recently started learning more about their Funraise Intelligence offerings, and have been thrilled at the reporting we're able to customize and the data insight it provides our team.

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.

Vice President of Financial Development

The only con I've run into is on the custom domains and the service fee to have one for each site.

The fee structure can feel misleading at first glance, with certain charges that aren't immediately obvious during the sales or onboarding process.

This platform allows us to fundraise responsibly without a development team, but if we had one, we would be unstoppable.

Development Coordinator

I like how easy it is to enter in transactions, review past transactions, and to list them based on what we are focused on.

Director of Stewardship

The only thing I wish Funraise offered is the ability to export the donor names and details displayed on the dashboard.

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.

Development Operations Officer

We have been able to leverage Funraise to boost our Digital Fundraising program over the last 9 years.

Development Associate

Even with just a very fresh and small organization like ours, it doesn't feel like a big obstacle anymore to do the foundations work as we have Funraise to help us.

They go above and beyond to help us build what we need via Funraise Intelligence dashboards, etc.

The promised importing process was time consuming and much less convenient than they claim, in addition to the notes above.

Director

We didn’t go about onboarding quite right bc we had a big event and focused on using it for the event but we are getting back to it and the data looks good!

The main downside is the learning curve and some usability friction when you’re still new to the platform.

Associate Director of Development

Funraise customer support is also great - I know that if I am having trouble with something, I will be able to get help from a real person quickly.

Funraise has helped the Bahati Foundation build a stronger, more scalable fundraising engine while staying true to our mission.

It’s helped streamline a lot of our processes and made things feel more polished and professional.

We especially value how intuitive the donor experience is; supporters can give quickly, easily share campaigns, and feel connected to our mission without friction.

Development Manager

It helps me keep track of my constituents and house all of their info in one easy spot!

Funraise is an essential platform in our fundraising process.

Staff turnover and account management transitions are handled poorly.

I love how you are very much supported from the team. Whenever you have a question or a concern, you could always reach out to someone from Funraise for support.

The integration to our website is seamless, and the reports we can pull are very helpful.

Some features can be difficult to navigate at first and aren’t always intuitive.

Development

We have used this software for the last 7 years and have enjoyed the customer service whenever we need to troubleshoot further into reporting.

With some improvements in those areas, this could easily be a five-star product.

I think sometimes editing pages or websites can be a little tricky, but nothing I can't eventually figure out.

It's been easy for our donors to use quick pay options like Apple Pay, Venmo, and PayPal.

Administration and Program Development

Volunteer and Philanthopy Coordinator

It is a good tool but has lots of quirks in the backend.

Overall, it feels modern and built for how people actually give today.

Developments Coordinator

We are excited to continue growing with the platform and seeing future improvements and new tools.

Learning curve if you don't know HTML code can be a challenge.

Quick and easy tool to organize and capture our historical giving to our school.

There's no logical way within Funraise to handle donors who request receipts for joint gifts--if you follow the Funraise rules, someone is left off the receipt, and if you don't follow their rules, your data can be overwritten and you'd have no idea.
