From setup to money in your account — here's the full process.
Go to scanraise.com/start and fill in your organization name, campaign name, and the names of your fundraisers. Choose your brand color and set an optional fundraising goal with milestone rewards.
You have two options. Connect your own bank account through Stripe and get paid directly (takes 2 minutes). Or let ScanRaise collect the money and send you a check or bank transfer monthly. Either way, your organization keeps 97.5%.
Download a print-ready PDF with every fundraiser's card, or send personalized links by email so adults can pull up their QR code on their phone.
Your fundraisers carry their cards or phones and show them to potential donors. Donors scan the QR code with their phone camera — it opens a donation page where they can give in 30 seconds. No app, no account, no cash needed.
Log into your dashboard to see every donation as it comes in. View leaderboards by person, class, or team. See which milestones you've hit. Export donation data as CSV anytime.
If you connected Stripe, donations transfer to your bank on a rolling basis (typically 2 business days). If ScanRaise is collecting for you, we send a monthly payment. Either way, ScanRaise takes 2.5% and Stripe takes their standard processing fee. Your organization keeps the rest.

Walkathons, read-a-thons, swim-a-thons — same platform, extra tracking layer.
Toggle "This is an athon" when creating your campaign. Pick your unit: miles, laps, pages, problems, minutes, or anything custom. Everything else works the same — groups, fundraisers, QR cards.
When donors scan a QR code, they see two options: donate a flat amount (regular) or pledge per unit ("$2 per mile"). Pledges are commitments — no money charged until after the activity.
Each participant opens a tracker page on their phone (no app). Depending on the unit type, they get GPS distance tracking, a step counter, a verified timer, or Strava/Fitbit sync. Manual entry is always available too.
Every submission is analyzed server-side. GPS speed validation catches drivers pretending to walk. Photo check-ins prove location. Timer verification confirms screen was active. Results are marked verified, suspicious, or unverified. Admins can review and override.
Admin clicks "Calculate" — pledge amounts are computed from verified activity. Then "Collect" — every pledger gets an email with their total and a Stripe payment link. Money flows in. No chasing.
