For Churches & Youth Groups

Church and Youth Group Fundraising Platform

ScanRaise helps churches raise money for mission trips, youth camp, and building projects. Share a campaign QR code in the bulletin or on a lobby sign, and keep donation records for the church office. Individual profiles and results for children under 13 stay private.

Start Your Church Fundraiser

Funding a mission trip

1. Create the campaign. A youth pastor or church administrator sets up the campaign online and sets the goal. When your church connects its own payment account, donations go to that account.

2. Add the youth group. Type in the names or upload the roster for internal tracking. Individual profiles and results for children under 13 stay private. A responsible adult must handle any individual cards for those children.

3. Share it after the service. Share the campaign QR code in the fellowship hall, in the bulletin, or on a lobby sign. Families can also share the campaign link.

4. Keep the records. See each student's total and every gift, and export donations as a CSV for the church office. Donors get an email confirmation of each gift, and year-end giving statements still come from the church.

Other ways churches use ScanRaise

Bulletin and lobby QR codes

Print a campaign's QR code in the bulletin or on a lobby sign for the building fund or a seasonal appeal.

Text-to-give

Members can text the church's keyword to the ScanRaise text-to-give number and get one reply with the donation link.

Dinner tickets

Sell seats for the spaghetti dinner or a benefit concert, and scan each ticket's QR code at the door.

Member fundraising pages

Members can create their own fundraising page for a cause and share it, with every gift credited to the church's campaign.

Cost

ScanRaise keeps 2.5% of each gift, and Stripe charges a separate card-processing fee. There is no setup or monthly fee. Members can choose to cover the fees when they give.

You can set up your church's fundraiser online without a credit card.
