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]
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]
