RaiseRight Fundraising

We were forced to switch over to this fundraising app from our previous online shopping app, which was amazing. We would raise couple thousand dollars a year just by our daily shopping for our team. Looking at this app it charges you 3.5% to use your credit card at checkout when you only get 1 to 2% cashback… It’s not worth it. You’re paying more in credit card fees than you’re even getting in cash back and I’m not gonna link my bank account to any online shopping store so it’s not worth the time or the money as you don’t get that much in cash back once all fees are taken out.

Raise Right makes fundraising easy but needs to improve their App unless making money off those wanting to do good for others is their primary goal. Linking bank accounts in the App to avoid hefty fees only works if you’ll share your login information for all your bank accounts at the bank you want to use to RaiseRight and Plaid, and after considering that option, the App forces you to link with Plaid and won’t allow you to link accounts the old fashioned way forcing me to pay a RaiseRight fee higher than the share to the school I’m supporting so it’s better to simply donate to the school directly.

I use RaiseRight every chance I get. As a result I am able to earns hundreds of dollars for my daughter’s activities. The app is on my phone and it is so easy to even purchase my gift card right before my purchase to earn a rebate. Just by doing my weekly grocery shopping with my reloadable card alone I have earned significant rewards for the year. I highly recommend using this app for your fundraising activities!
