Highly recommend Funraise ----- ### "Solid all‑in‑one fundraising platform for nonprofits" — 4.0/5 > **Deanne** | *19 May 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about Funraise is that it brings our core fundraising tools into one platform that is clearly built for nonprofits rather than generic ecommerce. The donation forms, peer‑to‑peer pages, and campaign sites look modern and are easy for donors to use, which has helped improve conversion and donor experience. The automation around recurring gifts, receipts, and basic donor follow‑ups saves a lot of admin time for a small team. I also really value the nonprofit‑savvy support and training resources (Funraise University, knowledge base, and customer success), which make it easier to get up and running even if you’re not deeply technical. > > **Cons**: The main downside is the learning curve and some usability friction when you’re still new to the platform. Some tasks, like configuring email templates, managing images and links, or finding the right report view, can feel a bit unintuitive until you’ve done them a few times. Because Funraise is quite feature‑rich, you sometimes have to click through several areas to find the specific setting or data you need. I’d also love to see even smoother UX around email content editing and media handling so non‑technical users can move faster. > > Overall, Funraise has been a strong fundraising and donor management platform for our small nonprofit. Once you get past the initial learning curve, the workflows for campaigns, online donations, and recurring giving are reliable and efficient. Our donors have a smooth giving experience, and it’s helpful to have donation data, donor profiles, and reporting in one place. The support team and educational resources give us confidence to expand how we’re using the product over time, even with limited internal tech capacity. ----- ### "Over promise, under deliver" — 1.0/5 > **Brad** | *29 May 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: So far, not much to like about this experience. Can't think of one thing they do better than other processors. > > **Cons**: For a platform that both charges monthly fees and adds on platform fees (asking for more than 10% in some cases), the features that this company offers are very disappointing. They have a very slick marketing push that offers all these bells and whistles but when you dig in, they don't offer many standard things that others who don't charge offer. They charge extra for emails and their email editor is awful, very little ability to customize, add images, etc. Our drip campaign to donors will be way less attractive and effective using their emails. They require a complicated coding option to add foreign currencies and only offer progress bars on campaign pages, which are useless to us, and not on the forms themselves. Every single thing I've requested, I've been told they don't have that option or a complicated, user-unfriendly work around. > > Serious regret signing a multiple year contract. The promised importing process was time consuming and much less convenient than they claim, in addition to the notes above. ----- ### "A Solid Donation Platform with Room to Grow" — 4.0/5 > **Jacqueline** | *24 April 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use is a real strength here. The platform has a relatively short learning curve, making it accessible even for team members who aren't especially tech-savvy. Onboarding didn't feel overwhelming, and day-to-day use is straightforward. The Funraise team is also notably helpful. Whenever we've needed support, staff have been responsive and willing to work through issues with us. You can tell there's genuine investment in customer success. Perhaps most encouragingly, the platform continues to improve. Updates and new features roll out with some regularity, which signals that the team is listening to user feedback and actively investing in the product. > > **Cons**: Staff turnover and account management transitions are handled poorly. On more than one occasion, our client service manager changed without any proactive communication from Funraise. Finding out your main point of contact has changed — after the fact — creates unnecessary friction and can slow down issue resolution. Pricing transparency is another area that needs work. The fee structure can feel misleading at first glance, with certain charges that aren't immediately obvious during the sales or onboarding process. Nonprofits operating on tight budgets need to scrutinize the full pricing breakdown carefully before committing to any add-on's. > > Funraise is a capable, user-friendly platform that delivers real value for nonprofits looking to manage and grow their fundraising. The helpful staff and ongoing product improvements make it easy to recommend — but prospective customers should go in with eyes open about account management continuity and the full scope of fees. With some improvements in those areas, this could easily be a five-star product. ----- ### "Project manager experience with Funraise" — 4.0/5 > **Rees** | *2 June 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of donations in multi currencies. As our NPO organisation is worldwide and has 3x legal entities with different currencies it was essentail that the platform could receive different funds. > > **Cons**: The campaigns are not as easy to use and seems more limiting. We rather create a custom page and insert a Funraise form. > > Easy to use and onboard staff and get the results we needed very quickly. The more we use it, the more detailed our reports are which is great. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/87911/funraise?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/87911/funraise) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
