FAQ

How does Fundraise Up handle high-volume fundraising days?

Fundraise Up is built specifically to handle the spikes that come with Giving Tuesday, year-end appeals, and crisis fundraising. The platform processes 600 real-time transactions per second, automatically scales to handle traffic surges, and uses a globally distributed infrastructure so no single failure point can take down a campaign — meaning donations are never lost during peak moments.

How many transactions per second can Fundraise Up process?

Fundraise Up processes up to 600 real-time transactions per second. Any transactions that exceed real-time capacity are queued and processed shortly after — the platform never drops donations during peak demand. This is industry-leading throughput for online giving infrastructure.

What is Fundraise Up’s uptime SLA?

Fundraise Up maintains 99.99% uptime year-round, including during peak fundraising periods like Giving Tuesday and December 31. We publish a real-time public status page so customers can verify the platform’s operational state at any time.

Will our donation form work during Giving Tuesday or a viral campaign?

Yes — that’s exactly what Fundraise Up is built for. Our infrastructure auto-scales to absorb spikes from Giving Tuesday, December 31 year-end pushes, and unexpected viral campaigns. Akashinga, Canadian Red Cross during the Ukraine appeal, and Salvation Army UK during the Alberta wildfire response all relied on this scalability when traffic surged unexpectedly.

Does Fundraise Up have a backup plan if something goes wrong during a campaign?

Yes. Fundraise Up runs daily encrypted backups with one-year retention, has a documented incident response plan, and operates on a globally distributed infrastructure that automatically routes around regional failures. A real-time public status page keeps customers informed if any issue does occur.

How does Fundraise Up’s scalability compare to other fundraising platforms?

Most fundraising platforms throttle, slow down, or fail under sustained high traffic. Fundraise Up is the only online donation platform offering 600 TPS in real time, with 99.99% uptime. That difference is most visible on Giving Tuesday, when other platforms post outages and Fundraise Up customers process gifts as normal.

Where is Fundraise Up’s infrastructure hosted?

Fundraise Up runs on globally distributed enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure with 24/7 monitoring, AI-powered DDoS protection, and automatic regional failover. Distribution across multiple geographic regions eliminates single points of failure and improves performance for international donors. Detailed architecture documentation is available in our Trust Center.
