Choose the ordering workflow your volunteers need
Raised is a practical choice for the classic school or club product drive: confirm your supplier, publish products with prices, share a deadline and prepare for collection. Online orders give the organiser a single place to follow what supporters have bought.
That workflow matters when a committee needs to coordinate a bulk order rather than send buyers to separate businesses. Agree who places the supplier order, who receives the delivery and who hands products to supporters. Confirm those responsibilities before publishing the campaign.
Make the fundraising margin clear
Start with the wholesale cost, then decide the selling price and any other campaign expenses. A campaign's sales total is not the same as its profit. Use Raised's order information to plan quantities and keep the treasurer's records aligned with what has actually been paid.
Raised also lets your group choose a donation appeal or a sponsored activity when selling products is not the right fit. You can plan around your volunteers' time and your supporters' interests, with no monthly software subscription to maintain between campaigns.
What will Raised cost our group?
There is no setup fee or monthly subscription. Card payments carry a 5% platform fee plus processing fees. Eligible product fundraisers can accept cash or bank transfer without platform or processing fees. Crowdfunding campaigns are card only.
Check your campaign settings to understand who pays card fees and which payment methods are available. Include product costs and event expenses when setting a fundraising target, and distinguish total sales from the profit your group keeps.
