CrowdRise is a for-profit crowdfunding platform that raises charitable donations.[2][3] CrowdRise was founded by Edward Norton, Shauna Robertson, and the founders of Moosejaw, Robert and Jeffrey Wolfe.[2][4][5][6] CrowdRise was acquired in 2017 by GoFundMe.[7]

Overview

CrowdRise’s fundraising model is based upon the notion of making giving back fun,[8] which may lead to more people donating and more funds being raised.[9] The platform uses gamification and a rewards point system to engage users to participate in fundraising and donating.[10]

Its primary model is donation-based, and the campaign defaults to “keep what you raise”.

Their default “Starter” pricing is to charge the non-profit a 5% platform fee from each donation, plus a payment processing fee (credit card fee) of 2.9% + $0.30 per donation.[11] Donors may choose whether to pay the fee in addition to the amount of their donation or to have the fee subtracted from their donation amount before being delivered.[12]
