Political campaigns

Schools, sports teams, churches, and nonprofits run on the 2.5% flat fee above. Political campaigns and PACs need extra capacity (canvasser tracking, voter file import, FEC disclosure) so they pay an additional per-campaign monthly subscription on top of the 2.5% donation fee.

ScanRaise is a technology platform, not a campaign finance advisor. Campaigns are responsible for their own FEC compliance. The 2.5% donation fee applies to all tiers; the monthly subscription is per active political campaign. Paid upgrades open Stripe Checkout from Political Dispatch and activate only after Stripe confirms the subscription.

What does a donor actually pay?

There are two fees on every online donation. ScanRaise's 2.5% is the platform fee. The other is Stripe's standard processing fee, which applies to every credit card transaction online, regardless of platform.

Donors can cover the fees. Every donation page shows a "cover the fees" checkbox. When toggled on, the donor is charged a slightly higher amount so your org still receives the full intended donation.

Pricing FAQ

Are there any setup, monthly, or contract fees?
Standard fundraising has no setup fee, monthly fee, per-fundraiser fee, or contract. ScanRaise charges 2.5% on each donation, and Stripe processing applies separately. Political Plus and Pro campaigns also have the per-campaign monthly subscription listed above.
When do I get the money?
If your org connected its own Stripe account, the first payout from a brand-new Stripe Connect account is typically held 7 to 14 business days while Stripe verifies the account. After that, donations settle to your bank on a rolling 2-business-day schedule. If you use platform mode (no Stripe Connect), ScanRaise collects the donations and pays out monthly via check or ACH.
Can donors cover the fees?
Yes. Every donation page has a "cover the fees" checkbox. When the donor toggles it on, the charged amount is grossed up so your org still receives the full intended donation. The math is shown on the button right next to the toggle.
Do you charge for refunds?
Stripe's processing fee is non-refundable. The ScanRaise platform fee is non-refundable for routine donor refunds and is returned for duplicate or unauthorized charges.
What payment methods do you accept?
Apple Pay, Google Pay, and all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover). Donors don't need to create an account or download an app.
Are there volume discounts for large districts?
For school districts, multi-site sports leagues, or other large multi-org deployments processing more than $250,000/year through ScanRaise, contact us about district pricing. The default is 2.5% for everyone.
Is there a free trial?
There's no trial because there's nothing to trial - the platform is free to use. You only pay the 2.5% fee when a donation is processed. Sign up, build your campaign, and you owe nothing until money moves.
