The customer service is phenomenal! When calling in, you speak to very knowledgeable employees who will go out of their way to help. They are very responsive, and they reply quickly. We have used RallyUp for several years, and with each update, the program gets better and better. RallyUp is the best value for the services and is definitely a step above the competition.

quotes

I’m not a technologically inclined or resourceful person, and occasionally I’m okay at being creative. So when it came to me that our Animal Shelter needed a fundraiser for, I was recommended RallyUp for its options. Options! There are so many options! And It’s flexible. The event creation page is so helpful, going step by step and walking you through the things that are necessary to function first and then extra stuff for flair. We had a fundraiser that most sites would not allow due to the options we wanted. And yet RallyUp let us run a raffle for naming each of the 29 kittens we had! At one point, I asked a question about pay in the Customer Service chat and got an immediate answer (within 5 minutes), with a transcript emailed to me in case I needed a recap of the steps the rep told me. RallyUp has been communicative and supportive, and we’re so happy about how the event page looked and functioned.

RallyUp is always looking for ways to boost the fundraising efforts of small nonprofits and this in itself is unusual because in our experience, many donation processing providers would raise their platform fees, be unresponsive to smaller clients etc. Not RallyUp – they understand what small nonprofits need.

We have used MightyCause and DonorBox for the previous two years and both were excruciating to use for a variety of reasons. RallyUp did the job and the few areas we were confused, their staff stepped up and helped us figure it all out!

Our experience has always been positive – from the ease of creating our raffle to the customer service we receive. We specifically worked with the support team last year and hope to work with them again in the future. We would recommend RallyUp to any organization/business looking to have a fun, engaging, and professional experience. We have actually recommended RallyUp to our other regions within our company!

The Team was very helpful and responsive to emails. The set up was so easy a kid could do it. The payment after our auction was prompt. They have a great option to ask your donors to pay the fees, this saved us a bunch of money being a non profit every penny counts. This will be our go to for online fundraising going forward. Thank you for providing this amazing service!

I was thrilled to receive several opportunities to meet with a RallyUp representative. She not only conducted my training, but made my organization two short videos to help direct our members through the sign-up process. RallyUp went above the call of duty and I will use them again!!!!

quotes

I’m the leader of a local Scout group, and when a time-sensitive prize was generously donated (to help with fund-raising), we found ourselves looking for an efficient, fast way to set up an online raffle.

Following online research, several options presented themselves – all with pros and cons – but RallyUp stood out from the off due to the support and handholding offered.

The setup process was super-easy. I made a collage of our item photos, and wrote a few words, and bingo it was done. As far as I know, it was also quite easy for people to buy entries.

We liked the free option, where people could “tip” and buy more entries instead of giving a percent of our takings to the platform. That seems like a win-win for everyone.

RallyUp made our fundraiser more successful than it has ever been! Parents shared the event link with friends and family making it easier for out-of-town supporters to contribute to student efforts. My class also enjoyed watching their specific progress online. I will be using RallyUp again!

I selected the Rally Up platform because it was not going to cost us any money to set up and run our fundraiser for our nonprofit private school. Meaning more money in our pocket to use for our students and staff. It was a no-brainer!

The Rally Up team was possibly the best part of this experience. The customer support and white glove service I received was amazing. I had my own concierge-type service, and the team was always accessible. Easy to schedule meetings and they walked me through every step of teh process, pre and post event. This was one of the most customer-friendly organizations and teams I have ever worked with in my career. Every Board call my organization had, I mentioned how great the Rally Up team was. They were instrumental in the success we had in our first fundraiser. We exceeded our goal and the Rally Up team played a huge part in this.

I honestly couldn’t say enough good things about this company! They are amazing people and so wonderful and helpful to work with. They actually came to us, because someone that works there used to volunteer at our fundraising event (Kiteboard 4 Cancer). They helped me set everything up, hopped on a meeting with me any time I had questions, they took our feedback seriously and changed some of the UX on the platform to make it easier for our users, they came to the event to help me run the raffle, they taught me how to use features I was confused about, and so much more. I have never felt as supported by a company as I have by RallyUp. If you’re considering them for your event management, I would 1000x recommend them – especially if you’re looking for Peer-to-peer fundraising functionality. That feature alone helped us to raise a ton more money, not to mention all the other awesome features.

Raffles

stars

“We have completed 3 Raffles so far and love using RallyUp. The amount of time it saves our volunteers, including myself, is fantastic! Easy of set up, monitoring, updating, processing payment, and being able to reach a wider audience.

I loved that it was all online so the fundraising could happen in people’s homes if they preferred, yet there was still options for those old school people who don’t fully understand the online world! Saves a lot of money and time using Rallyup.”

Crowdfunding

“We are an Australian based primary school and by using RallyUp for our Colour Fun Run campaign. We have used other sites before but our profit margin using RallyUp greatly increased. They are amazing for non-profits. It was very easy to set up. The most telling part of how easy this was that we got NO QUESTIONS at all from users about how to set up or that they were stuck on any step. We loved being able to export reports.”

Auctions

“I loved that this product was so easy from a UI and marketing perspective. I was able to extensively brand the experience to look as close to our website and other event marketing materials with little to no direction. The support team was responsive, even on the weekend, when we were in a rush to make a campaign live.”

RallyUp success stories 

Holly G.

Problem:

Raffle licensing was expensive and complicated, and other platforms had high fees or lacked flexibility.

Solution:

RallyUp offered a simple sweepstake alternative and guidance, with lower fees and all-in-one fundraising tools. 

“Easy to use & Great value”

I received donations from a pro sports team to use in a raffle to raise funds. The process to apply for a raffle license from the state was difficult and time consuming, not to mention costly. RallyUp allowed me to create a sweepstake to raise funds and guided me through all the necessary steps. 

Sarah K.

Problem:

Managing silent auctions and raffles was time-consuming for a small staff, and they needed a reliable way to handle last-minute raffle requests.

Solution:

RallyUp allowed them to quickly set up and manage raffles and auctions, providing excellent donor analytics and ease for both organizers and participants.

“Great for raffles and auctions!” 

RallyUp helps us easy manage silent auctions and raffle items in a way that makes it possible for our small staff to do these things. Our most recent raffle, a donor wanted their table to our event raffled off and we immediately turned to RallyUp knowing that the platform was easy to use for both us and donors, did what we wanted it to do for us, and keeps great analytics on donors..

Karen K.

Problem:

Starting a fundraiser for a large company with 5,000+ employees within a short timeframe.

Solution:

RallyUp enabled them to quickly launch a raffle that raised $10,000—more than ever before—through its efficient setup tools.

“Easy start-up for Raffle & Donations Pages!” 

Problem – get a fundraiser started in less than a week for a company with 5.000+ employees. Benefit: First fundraiser (raffling tablets to support Hurricane Relief fund) raised $10k. Most $$ in our organization’s history!!

Joey M.

Problem:

Difficulty reaching fundraising goals due to inefficient tools.

Solution:

RallyUp’s helped them exceed their intended fundraising goal by 180%.

“Easy and powerful fundraising”

Using RallyUp helped me raise 180% of my intended fundraising goal. Without their easy-to-use service, I highly doubt I would have been as successful.

Kasey N.

Problem:

Organizing physical raffle tickets required significant human resources, making it inefficient.

Solution:

RallyUp eliminated the need for manual ticket handling, saving time and resources while tripling their fundraising results through crowdsourcing.

“AMAZING! 10/10 would recommend” 

This was our first year taking raffle tickets online. Going to an online fundraising platform eliminated our human resourses that would usually take for us to physically handle raffle tickets, before and during the event. Crowdsourcing just helped us raise triple the amount we have in the past as well.

Tracy B.

Problem:

Limited reach and engagement with fundraising prizes, impacting income potential.

Solution:

RallyUp provided a solution where prizes were easily visible, allowing donors to bid, buy bonus tickets, and significantly increase engagement and income.

“Provided a wonderful platform to display fundraising prizes to our district staff and community.” 

The ability to reach more people has impacted our income tremendously. Our staff and community enjoy being able to see available prizes and bid on the ones of interest. Many of our donors enjoy the added benefit of increasing the odds of winning by purchasing bonus tickets that RallyUp offers.

Elizabeth L.

Problem:

Creating a website for a short-term fundraising drive was a cumbersome and resource-heavy task.

Solution:

RallyUp offered a simple, plug-and-play solution that replaced the need for custom website development, making the process much faster and more efficient.

“Easy & user friendly from start to finish!” 

It solved the problem of having to develop a whole website for a 2-week fundraising drive! What a cumbersome project that was made soooooo much easier by having a plug and play solution.

Lacey H.

Problem:

High platform fees and manual payment tracking led to lost donations and frustrated participants.

Solution:

RallyUp solved the fees problem, automated payment collection, and streamlined the entire donation process, ensuring more funds were raised without hassle.

“RallyUp is very user friendly, and a great fundraising resource.” 

The main problem that RallyUp is solving is the ability to keep the majority of funds raised because we don’t have to pay high fees for a fundraising platform. We were also more successful overall with donations because we didn’t have to rely on parents to track money owed after the fact. When we did it all on paper in the previous year, we had several donations never come in because they kept forgetting. Families did not want to hound anyone continuously for payment.

Matthew H.

Problem:

Limited funds made it difficult for new nonprofits to organize fundraising events without financial risk.

Solution:

RallyUp’s no-upfront-cost model allowed the nonprofit to host a raffle, enabling them to raise funds without requiring capital investment.

“Very Impressed” 

I am acutely aware of how little money new nonprofits have to work with. It makes it very difficult to do all the things you want to do because, for us, everything comes out of my own pocket until the organization can make money. The problem RallyUp solves is that their service doesn’t require you to put up any capital. If you make money, they make money. It’s a great model and we wouldn’t have been able to hold a raffle without it.

Tyson G.

Problem:

Managing logistics for a school-wide fundraising effort was complex, requiring individual accounts and fund tracking.

Solution:

RallyUp streamlined the process by providing an all-in-one platform for fund collection, disbursements, and winner calculations, saving time and effort.

“Very easy to set up and an overall intuitive/seamless experience.” 

Logistics is the biggest thing that comes to mind. It was nice to have everything all on one platform, which allowed us to collect payments and all of our supporters’ information, so we can follow up with them afterwards. The ability to have every student in the school create an account for their own personal fundraising goal was something I had no idea where to start with. Collection of funds, dispersements and calculating of winners saved me so much time.

Julia E.

Problem:

Navigating livestream tools and improving donor engagement during campaigns.

Solution:

RallyUp addressed known issues and improved the platform mid-campaign, making donations easier to access and improving the overall donor experience.

“Absolutely Excellent Online Fundraising Tool in Every Way!” 

RallyUp solved problems we knew we had (i.e., navigating the live stream management tool) and problems we didn’t even think about. They updated the environment during the course of our campaign to allow donors to more easily find ways to donate – we realized how helpful that was after we saw the upgrade. Clearly, they’re engaged in making the experience as effective as it can be.
