About ScanRaise

Who runs ScanRaise

ScanRaise is built and operated by StanHattie LLC, a software company formed in Iowa in 2023. We are a small, independent team, not a venture-backed sales organization, and we answer our own support email. The company is registered at 731 SE Alices Rd PMB 1035, Waukee, IA 50263, and you can reach us at support@scanraise.com or (833) 278-5002.

Why we built it

ScanRaise started with a K-12 fundraiser in Iowa. The old way was paper order forms that never came back, envelopes of cash a volunteer treasurer had to count, and platforms that quietly took a large cut of every dollar raised. Families wanted to give but nobody carried cash to the door anymore.

So we built the simplest possible bridge between a donor's phone and an organization's bank account: a QR code on a printed card. The donor scans, picks an amount, and pays with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a card. The organization watches the total climb on a live leaderboard. No app to install on either side.

How the money works

This is the part that makes ScanRaise different, so we want to be precise about it. Each organization connects its own Stripe account through Stripe Connect. Donations flow straight from the donor to that account. ScanRaise never holds your money, never routes it through an escrow account, and never processes donations on a nonprofit's behalf. Your money is yours from the moment a donor pays.

Our fee is a flat 2.5% per donation. No setup fees, no monthly fees, no contracts. Stripe's standard card processing fee (2.9% plus 30 cents) applies separately, the same as it would on any online payment, and a checkbox lets donors cover both fees so the organization can keep the full gift. That is the entire pricing story. The one exception is political campaigns, which add a per-campaign monthly subscription on top of the 2.5%.

Trust, privacy, and student data

ScanRaise handles donations and, for schools, student rosters. We treat that as the bar we are held to, not a feature to bolt on later.

• SDPC registered with the Student Data Privacy Consortium.
• COPPA and FERPA compliant. Fundraiser participants are identified by first name and last initial, entered by adult organizers, never by children directly.
• Clever Library sign-in for teachers and ClassLink SSO for K-12 districts.
• Payments handled by Stripe (PCI-DSS Level 1). ScanRaise never sees full card or bank numbers.
• Daily off-site encrypted backups and passwordless sign-in by magic link or passkey.
• StanHattie LLC carries General Liability and Errors and Omissions coverage through Next Insurance.
