Overview
CrowdRise's fundraising model is based upon the notion of making giving back fun,[8] which may lead to more people donating and more funds being raised.[9] The platform uses gamification and a rewards point system to engage users to participate in fundraising and donating.[10]
Its primary model is donation-based, and the campaign defaults to "keep what you raise".
Their default "Starter" pricing is to charge the non-profit a 5% platform fee from each donation, plus a payment processing fee (credit card fee) of 2.9% + $0.30 per donation.[11] Donors may choose whether to pay the fee in addition to the amount of their donation or to have the fee subtracted from their donation amount before being delivered.[12]
