What's New on Raised: May 2026

This May, we focused on making fundraisers easier to use for organisers and supporters. Checkout is clearer, and donation forms can now sit on your own website. Supporters can also get a better look at the products you're selling.

Here's what landed.

Easier checkout

Paying by card is now simpler. Supporters see a clearer payment step, with less jumping between screens and fewer "did that go through?" moments.

People also have more time to finish paying. If someone gets interrupted, their order stays open longer so they can return and complete it without starting again.

This should mean fewer supporters dropping out between adding an item to their cart and completing their payment.

Embeddable donation form

You can now embed a Raised donation form on your own website. Schools with a PTA page, clubs with a WordPress site, and community groups with a simple campaign page can keep supporters on their own domain while still collecting donations through Raised.

Donations, receipts, and reporting still work through Raised. You can copy the donation form code from your fundraiser and add it to a page where your community already goes for news and updates.

This is useful when your community is used to finding things on your site, not hunting for a new fundraising link every term.

Product image zoom

Supporters can tap or click product photos to open them larger. It sounds small, but it matters when you're selling pies, hampers, cheese packs, or club merchandise and people want a proper look before they buy.

This is particularly useful on mobile, where product photos can be small. A supporter can check the pack size or jersey colour before placing an order.

Clearer collection and delivery choices

Checkout now explains more clearly what happens after someone pays. Collection and delivery choices are easier to understand, and pickup details are easier to find.

Supporters should finish their order knowing whether it will be delivered or where they need to collect it. That means fewer questions for organisers before a school pick-up day or club collection night.

Updated crowdfunding and colour run pages

We updated the page layouts used for crowdfunding and colour run fundraisers. The story and fundraising progress are easier to see, so visitors can quickly understand what you're raising money for.

Colour run pages now put the event and participants front and centre. Crowdfunding pages give more space to the cause and its story, whether you're raising money for a school trip, medical costs, or a community project.

Clearer supplier information

If a supplier referred your organisation to Raised, your fundraiser now shows that connection more clearly.

This makes it easier to confirm that your school or club is connected to the right supplier before building a product catalogue.

That's May

These updates make it easier to take payments, collect donations through your own website, and show supporters what they're buying or giving towards.

If you're planning a fundraiser for next term, start one on Raised and you'll already be on these updates.
