For Museums
Membership, annual fund, gala, and capital campaign in one place
Stop running four different platforms for the four pillars of museum fundraising. Multi-tier recurring memberships, donor-tier auto-recognition, tiered gala tickets with patron previews, capital campaign progress bars across exhibitions and acquisitions. 2.5% flat fee, vs OneCause and BidPal's $5K-$15K minimums.

Why museums switch from incumbent platforms
OneCause / BidPal / Greater Giving / Givebutter / Classy charge $5K-$15K/year minimums. Most small and mid-size museums (under 50K visitors/year) can't justify the cost. ScanRaise has no minimum.
Membership management built in. Bronze, Silver, Gold, Trustee tiers with monthly or annual billing. Tier-swap from a customer portal. No separate Constant Contact / Salesforce / Raiser's Edge license required.
Donor-tier auto-recognition on the gala slideshow. Tiers auto-update as lifetime giving rolls up. Sponsor wall, gala program, and patron preview lists are always current.
Tiered gala tickets with member preview. GA, Patron, Sponsor, Table-of-N, plus private member-preview tiers that only show to Gold-and-above patrons. Private tiers stay invisible to the public until you flip them.
Multi-image acquisition campaigns. Capital campaign for a new acquisition? Each piece gets up to 12 photos with provenance, dimensions, year, and estimate. Donors see the work, not a fundraising thermometer alone.
Segmented patron emails. Send to Gold-and-above for previews, lapsed-donor reactivation for the year-end push, and ERG-specific blasts for diversity programs. Recipients narrow by tier, lifetime, lapsed-since, and tags.
Museum donor management, built in
Most museums run fundraising in one tool and track donors in another, then spend the off-season reconciling the two. ScanRaise keeps the donor record and the money in the same place, so every membership, gala ticket, and capital gift updates the same patron profile automatically.
One profile per patron. Every gift across memberships, the annual fund, gala tickets, and capital campaigns rolls up to a single record with lifetime giving, last gift date, and tier.
Segments that matter for museums. Filter by membership tier, lapsed-since date, lifetime giving band, and custom tags so the development team can build a year-end appeal or a member-preview list in seconds.
Your data, exportable. CSV export of donors and gifts at any time, so the records move cleanly into your accounting or grant reporting. No lock-in, no export fee.
Your money, your Stripe. Donations and membership dues land in the museum's own Stripe account. ScanRaise charges a flat 2.5% and never holds your funds.
What museums raise for
Memberships and the annual fund. Recurring membership dues at every tier plus a year-round giving campaign, with donor-tier recognition that updates itself.
Acquisitions and capital campaigns. Fund a new acquisition, a wing renovation, or a conservation project with a public progress goal and full provenance imagery.
Benefit galas and member previews. Sell tiered gala tickets, run a paddle raise with a live total on the screen, and close the night with a silent auction, all from one platform.
Education and outreach programs. Raise for school visits, community days, and accessibility programs with their own campaigns and donor segments.
