RallyUp 2.0 Empowers Nonprofits to Tackle Funding Cuts and Staff Burnout with the Industry’s First Full Fundraising Stack

Phoenix, AZ — March 9, 2026 

In a year defined by economic uncertainty and tightening government budgets, nonprofits are feeling the financial squeeze more than ever. A new  Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP) report reveals that changes in government funding and staff burnout remain the two biggest challenges for nonprofit leaders. In response,  RallyUp, a leading online fundraising platform trusted by over 55,000 nonprofits, today announced  RallyUp 2.0, introducing the  RallyUp Fundraising Stack—a breakthrough full-stack fundraising system that democratizes enterprise-class fundraising for organizations of every size. 

Unlike traditional fundraising software that requires costly subscriptions or long-term contracts, RallyUp 2.0  is free or pay-as-you-go, giving nonprofits access to sophisticated, professional-grade fundraising tools without financial barriers.

Building on years of innovation, RallyUp 2.0  brings together every major fundraising format—raffles, auctions, galas, peer-to-peer, crowdfunding, storefronts, and more—on one connected platform. Each component can stand alone or be “stacked” to create multiactivity campaigns that engage donors in various ways. 

For in-person fundraising events, RallyUp now powers upscale galas and live events with next-level features, like  live auctions, silent auctions, fund-a-need paddle raises, live event displays, QR code check-in, and automated checkout. These tools streamline event execution, delight donors, and help nonprofits raise significantly more with much less stress. 

RallyUp users can check out a video overview of the RallyUp fundraising stack at the video link here and/or attend a webinar to gain further understanding of the stack on March 11 at 11 am PT/2 pm ET. RSVPs for the free webinar are here.  

Easing the Pressure on Overworked Staff 

To directly address staff burnout, RallyUp 2.0  introduces  Done-for-You Services, a suite of professional fundraising services provided  at no additional cost. Nonprofits can choose  Create My Campaign, where RallyUp experts optimize fundraisers—from custom art to compelling copy before handing the campaign off to the client for execution. RallyUp’s experts can also help guide strategy, timing, and promotion. Even better, expert reviews and campaign optimizations remain free for all customers, ensuring access to professional-quality results without hiring outside consultants. 

A Smarter, More Sustainable Model 

According to Independent Sector’s Health of the U.S. Nonprofit Sector Report, technology innovation that improves efficiency is the top driver of sustainability for nonprofits nationwide. RallyUp 2.0  meets that need with the industry’s easiest launch process—most users launch their first campaign in under three hours. 

Pricing:  RallyUp remains contract free, subscription-free, and accessible to any organization worldwide through flexible,  free  and  pay-as-you-go  options. 

“RallyUp 2.0 is about leveling the playing field,” said  Steve Bernat, RallyUp’s founder and CEO. “We’re bringing the sophistication of enterprise fundraising systems to every nonprofit—without the cost or complexity. The goal is simple: make fundraising easy, professional, and rewarding for everyone involved.”
