Why Fundraise Up uses performance-based pricing
Our success is directly tied to yours, so we’re invested in helping you raise more. Instead of charging a fixed software subscription, we earn a small share of the donations processed through Fundraise Up. Donor cost coverage helps offset that share, bringing the effective Fundraise Up cost to around 1% on average.
We’re built to help you raise more
When you raise more, we grow too. So improving your fundraising effectiveness is naturally built into how our model works.
Across thousands of nonprofits, Fundraise Up delivers 3× higher donation conversion than the industry benchmark, ~30% larger average gifts, and ~80% recurring donor retention after one year — backed by 70+ A/B tests every year to keep learning and improving.
Fundraise Up: Our growth depends on helping you grow.
Fixed-cost software: You pay the same subscription whether your fundraising improves or not.
Keep more of every donation
We make it easy for donors to help cover the costs of giving. Every donation includes payment processing fees (like Stripe's) plus a small Fundraise Up fee. Our technology transparently drives industry-leading fee coverage, with most donors covering both.
The result: The effective cost that goes to Fundraise Up is typically about 1%, not including processing fees.
Fundraise Up: Fee coverage designed to help more of every donation stay with your mission.
Other models: More costs may fall to the nonprofit or depend on donor tipping.
We’re invested in your success
Without long-term contracts, every day is a renewal day. That’s why we invest in your success from the start — with white-glove onboarding and migration, dedicated Customer Success, and expert support whenever you need it.
You get the full Fundraise Up platform from day one, while our team keeps working alongside yours to help you get more from it and raise more over time.
Fundraise Up: Full platform and expert partnership from onboarding to ongoing growth.
Traditional software: Long-term contracts, paid services, and higher tiers can make it harder and more expensive to change.
Northwest Harvest uses Fundraise Up’s Salesforce integration to save 624 hours a year in admin tasks. Before Fundraise Up, any change in donor information had to be input manually by their team, which minimized time spent expanding its fundraising campaigns. By improving their staff productivity, it allowed the team to focus on increasing 360 in new recurring plans!

Not necessarily. ~1% is an average benchmark from our data, not a guaranteed rate. The actual amount can vary based on factors like donation size, payment method, fee coverage behavior, and your organization’s pricing.
