Choose Raised for school and club fundraising built around product orders, donation appeals and sponsored athons. Give your volunteers a campaign workflow that follows what they need to organise before and after payment.

## Campaign focus

GalaBid: Its website describes auctions, event ticketing and donation tools.

## Published plan model

Raised: No setup fee or monthly subscription; card transaction fees apply.

GalaBid: Its pricing page shows tipping, Pro and flat-fee options.

## NZ and AU pricing

Raised: Regional pricing explains Raised card fees and eligible offline payment options.

GalaBid: Its pricing page explicitly says NZ and AU customers receive region-specific pricing.

## Product drive workflow

Raised: Choose participating suppliers or add your own products, then manage campaign orders.

GalaBid: Its published positioning centres on events and auction fundraising.

## Run the product drive your group already understands

Raised is a practical choice for a school pie drive or a club product sale. The organiser chooses products and prices, explains the cause and shares an ordering link. Orders stay together for the campaign rather than arriving through several paper forms or messages.

Plan the supplier deadline and collection arrangements before publishing. Supporters need to know what they are buying and when they will receive it. Your volunteers need the order information that helps them prepare the right quantities.

## Keep the fundraising goal in view

For a donation appeal, Raised gives your group a place to tell the story and track progress towards a target. For a sponsored event, choose a fun run, colour run or another athon format and explain how participants will take part.

Compare costs for the campaign you actually plan to run. A price shown in US dollars or for a different event package is not a reliable NZ or Australian quote. Raised's regional pricing makes its card fee structure and campaign payment restrictions available before you publish.

## What does GalaBid cost in New Zealand or Australia?

GalaBid's public pricing page says NZ and AU customers receive region-specific pricing. Confirm a local quote rather than assuming the displayed US-dollar or percentage plan applies. Raised publishes regional card fee information and has no setup fee or monthly subscription.

## Can Raised replace an auction platform?

Raised is designed for product fundraisers, donation pages and sponsored athons. Choose it for those campaign formats. Auction bidding and specialist event-entry requirements should be checked separately; product sales on Raised do not imply auction functionality.

## Why choose Raised for a school or sports club?

Raised brings online product ordering, donations and sponsored activities into one fundraising platform. Your group can choose the format around its volunteers and supporters, with participating supplier products or your own items available for product campaigns.
