Why Raised is the Best Fundraising Platform for NZ Schools

The Fundraising Challenge

School fundraising can feel overwhelming. Between collecting payments, tracking orders, managing volunteers, and keeping everyone informed, it's easy to see why many schools stick to simple, low-return fundraisers. But what if there was a better way?

Enter Raised - a fundraising platform built specifically for New Zealand schools that takes the hassle out of fundraising while maximizing your results.

What Makes Raised Different?

Raised isn't just another fundraising tool - it's a complete solution designed with schools in mind. Unlike generic platforms that require technical expertise, Raised is intuitive enough that any parent or teacher can set up a successful campaign in minutes.

The platform handles everything: online payments, order management, automatic receipts, progress tracking, and donor communication. This means less time on admin and more time on what matters - connecting with your community and reaching your goals.

Key Features That Save Time

Automated Payment Processing: No more chasing cash or cheques. Raised handles all payments securely online, with automatic receipts sent to donors. This alone saves hours of administrative work.

Real-Time Progress Tracking: Watch your fundraising goal fill up in real-time. Share progress updates automatically with your community, creating excitement and momentum.

Mobile-Friendly Design: Most donations happen on mobile devices. Raised is optimized for smartphones, making it easy for supporters to give from anywhere, anytime.

Built-in Social Sharing: Every campaign includes easy sharing tools. Supporters can share your fundraiser with their networks with one click, expanding your reach far beyond your immediate community.

Success Stories from NZ Schools

Schools across New Zealand are already using Raised to transform their fundraising. One Auckland primary school raised $12,000 in just three weeks for new playground equipment - their previous record was $4,000 using traditional methods.

A small rural school in Canterbury used Raised for their annual fun run and saw participation jump from 40% to 85% of families. The platform made it so easy for extended family overseas to sponsor students that donations came from as far away as London and Sydney.

Getting Started is Simple

Setting up your first Raised campaign takes less than 15 minutes. Simply visit raisedhq.com, create your school account, and follow the step-by-step guide. The platform walks you through every decision, from setting your goal to customizing your campaign page.

Best of all, Raised offers competitive pricing with transparent fees - no hidden costs or surprise charges. Many schools find that the time saved and increased donations more than cover the platform fees.

Perfect for Any Fundraiser

Whether you're running a product sale, a fun run, a gala dinner, or a simple donation drive, Raised adapts to your needs. The platform works for one-off events or ongoing campaigns, making it a valuable long-term tool for your school.
