Curious about starting a RaiseRight program for your group but need to win over stakeholders, leadership, or board members? We can help you make the case!
Unlike traditional fundraisers, RaiseRight doesn't require selling, event planning, or donation asks, making it the easiest, most practical way to raise money. Your group can earn 24/7, 365 days a year—without the extra effort.
There are four ways to earn with RaiseRight. You can:
Your organization earns a percentage back with every purchase. It's that simple.
Together, these four earning solutions make up the Everyday Earnings Engine. RaiseRight's proprietary approach to fundraising fits seamlessly into everyday life, no matter how families choose to spend.

Let's dive into each earning method below.
Buy gift cards to pay for purchases like groceries, gas, coffee, clothing, and household goods. You'll earn with every gift card purchase.
Gift cards offer an average 6% earnings, but bonuses can boost that to 20% or more. For example, if you buy a $100 Bath & Body Works eGift card when the brand is on bonus at 16%, your organization will earn $16—just from that purchase.
You can also earn when you shop online with hundreds of participating retailers (even if they don’t offer gift cards through RaiseRight). This opens the door to even more brands and earning opportunities.
And, if a brand offers both gift cards and online earnings with RaiseRight, you can combine to earn twice on the same purchase!
Say you're making a $100 purchase at Nike.com, which is offering a 10% online earnings bonus. By clicking 'Shop Now' to activate online earnings, you'll earn $10 once you complete your purchase.
As you check out, pay with a Nike gift card from RaiseRight to earn an additional 11% (another $11). Combined with the $10 online earnings, your $100 purchase earns $21 for your program!
Local dining brings thousands of new earning opportunities to RaiseRight—outside of gift cards and shopping online.
Simply link a credit or debit card in your RaiseRight account, and you'll earn 5% every time you pay with that card—tax and tip included!
With 20,000+ participating locations nationwide, you can dine and earn near home or while traveling.
Lastly, you can book hotels, car rentals, or attractions through RaiseRight's travel site for competitive rates and significant earning potential.
Booking travel with RaiseRight can be a game-changer for organizations that travel often, such as sports teams or music programs.
Choose from 850,000+ hotels and resorts, 30,000+ car rental locations, and 100+ attractions, and enjoy the flexibility of booking with a credit or debit card.

Many programs also combine RaiseRight with other fundraisers to meet their earning goals even faster. Consider the following ideas:
When evaluating other types of fundraisers, there are two main categories: events and sales.
Some popular fundraisers that fall into these categories include:
Event fundraisers rely on ticket sales for experiences like dances or raffles, whereas sales-based fundraisers require selling items at a profit. The profit margin on sales-based fundraisers is around 30 to 40%.
Sales- and event-based fundraisers can be more demanding than they appear. Between the time and money that goes into planning, recruiting and coordinating volunteers, and hidden costs like inventory storage, what seems like a straightforward effort can quickly eat into your profits.
RaiseRight sidesteps all of that. It doesn't just hold up against traditional fundraisers—it outperforms them.
It's easy and it's free—here's how:
Whether you're looking to simplify fundraising or hit your targets faster, RaiseRight is designed to help your group succeed.
