Text Beats Email in 2025—The Stats Are Shocking

A flat 3.99% processing fee is applied to each donation — one of the lowest in all of fundraising.

Other platforms charge as much as 11.9% in mandatory fees, while others market processing fees as “optional” 15% tips — making donors go through numerous hoops to decrease the fees screen after screen before being able to opt out completely.

Many donors — in a rush to checkout — don’t successfully disable them, or mistakenly proceed believing the tip benefits the member or organization.

Our explanation is intentionally simple and transparent — no misleading language, no hidden markups, and no confusion.

We believe in a simpler model: a flat 3.99% processing fee, clearly shown, with no surprises.

We don’t charge groups anything to setup their campaign. All groups receive 80–90% of every dollar donated. We use a simple tiered structure to determine your net payout. Your school keeps:

• 80% of the first $30,000 raised
• 85% of the next $30,000
• 90% of everything above $60,000

Our average campaign raises $17,000+. Teams using our text message tools and engagement system often raise between $10,000 and $50,000, depending on participation and your number of members.

Yes — we offer multiple ways to track participation:

• In your mobile app, you can monitor invites sent, donation totals, and overall progress per student.
• You’ll receive a daily emailed report covering every key data point — invite activity, donor engagement, and more.
• We also provide a private live stats link so you can monitor activity in real time.
• After the campaign, your final payout report will include profit by student, which is perfect for groups applying earnings to individual travel or expense accounts.

Yes — our industry-leading prize program is built directly into the mobile app and designed to drive momentum, motivation, and sharing.

Most groups award on average $1,500 in cash prizes, which significantly increases participation, donor reach, and overall funds raised.

The platform tracks all activity in real time, making it easy for sponsors to view standings and quickly award incentives.

You’ll get a dedicated campaign coach, custom launch plan, real-time tracking dashboards, and optimized communication tools. We’re with you every step of the way to maximize your results.

Speed kills, right?

Other platforms often use automated phone numbers. Supporters don’t recognize the sender, and when they reply with questions — no one answers.

With our system, messages come directly from the member or parent’s actual phone, so supporters recognize the number, trust the message, and can even reply if they have questions.

That small personal touch leads to quicker trust, fewer issues, and a much higher donation rate.

Other platforms may advertise higher school payouts — but they often charge donors steep default tips (up to 15%) or mandatory fees as high as 12%.

We keep it simple: no upfront costs, transparent school payouts up to 90%, and one of the lowest processing fees in fundraising.

No. We never sell, rent, or share your donor data. All personal and team information stays secure and private — always.

Groups without a mobile app often struggle to keep students engaged or hold them accountable. Relying on desktop-only access or email leads to fewer shares, slower invites, and less momentum.

Our app puts everything in one place — personalized invite tools, live rankings, progress tracking, and prize standings — all from a phone.

When it’s that easy to participate, teams raise more. That’s why campaigns using our mobile app consistently outperform desktop-based platforms.
