raisin vs FundraiseUp

Why nonprofits choose raisin over FundraiseUp.

If your fundraising program goes beyond a Donate button on a website, FundraiseUp might not be the best fit. With raisin, nonprofits get a complete fundraising platform: donation forms, P2P events, DIY fundraising programs, event ticketing, full campaign site building, native bilingual support with CRA-compliant receipting, and so much more.

Common questions about raisin vs FundraiseUp

  • What's the main difference between raisin and FundraiseUp?

    • FundraiseUp is an AI-optimized donation checkout product with global coverage and an embedded modal experience. raisin is a complete fundraising platform built specifically for Canadian nonprofits, with donation forms, enterprise P2P events, DIY fundraising, event ticketing, tribute cards (including printed ones), full campaign site building, native bilingual French support, and CRA-compliant receipting.

  • Can FundraiseUp run a P2P event, such as a walk or ride?

    • Not at the scale most Canadian nonprofits run P2P events. FundraiseUp offers a Fundraiser feature for supporter-led giving pages, but it's designed for community-scale fundraising, not enterprise events with thousands of participants, multi-location coordination, offline gift reconciliation, and participant-level reporting. raisin was purpose-built for those events.

  • How does FundraiseUp's pricing work?

    • FundraiseUp uses a fee model that is heavily donor-funded, covering processing and platform fees at checkout. This lowers the line item to the nonprofit but shifts the cost to the donor experience. raisin charges nonprofits directly with transparent platform fees, so donors give exactly what they intended without an opt-out fee-cover prompt.

  • Does FundraiseUp work for Canadian nonprofits?

    • Yes, but the question is depth. Native bilingual French support and CRA-compliant receipting are not their primary focus; they're a global platform serving Canada as one market among many. raisin is built for Canadian nonprofits as the focus market, with the operational depth that implies.
