The easiest most effective way to fundraiser and keep track of participation **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Karl U. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 10, 2023 **What do you like best about Snap! Raise?** The best part of snap raise is the ease of setting up a campaign and the website. Everything was setup in a prompt fashion and changes were taken care of quickly. Also, the tracking of the participation was perfect and was able to allow me to focus in on who was not doing their part in my group. **What do you dislike about Snap! Raise?** The downside was not being able to use the system to send the text messages directly. To get the message and link from the computer to the students phone then send it was a bit of a hassle. A lot of my kids did not have cell phones that they were able to use so that extra step was a bit difficult to navigate. **What problems is Snap! Raise solving and how is that benefiting you?** The biggest problem that I did not want to fight with was handling product to sell. Also another plus is no cash handling. ### 2. Easy, Effective Fundraising **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Arthur Jeff G. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 29, 2023 **What do you like best about Snap! Raise?** The hands off aspect of the online campaign is wildly more manageable than having multiple product meetings, sending kids door to door and storing unsold overpriced product that eats into funds raised. **What do you dislike about Snap! Raise?** The only real downside we have experieced is the small % cut that Snap takes in order to run the campaign. While we could always use more money for the program, the 20% is a fair cost for not having to manage anything beyond your own atheletes, and as the only cost for this type of fundraiser it certainly beats paying for left over unsold product. **What problems is Snap! Raise solving and how is that benefiting you?** Snap streamlines the fundraising process so that as a coach I only have to organize my atheletes once and then the fundraiser does the work us. We don't need to keep track of overpriced product, repalce anything lost or damaged or worry about unsold inventory. My atheltes are safer not going door to door or camping outside of stores and we can reach financial supporters to which we woud not otherwise have access. ### 3. Great organization/communication **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** TJ C. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2023 **What do you like best about Snap! Raise?** SnapRaise helped us meet our fundraiser goals and clearly communicate our plans/vision for what we planned to do with our proceeds. It was also helpful to have a team store included with a percentage from those sales going to our program. It was easy to chart and track progress from the fundraiser and great that we had immediate access to the funds in our ASB account. It included a lot of helpful features and tips (like creating a thank-you video for contributors) to help drive engagement and point donors toward our goals. **What do you dislike about Snap! Raise?** The most difficult part is the percentage that Snap! Raise takes from the proceeds. It's understandable. But we had some families who reached out saying they weren't comfortable with the idea that 20% of the funds they were donating were going to Snap! Raise. We had another family ask to opt out of the fundraiser because they didn't believe in soliciting money from people. So it was difficult to get full buy-in from our parents/community. I think it would be better to include on the website the portion of the proceeds that Snap! Raise takes from the fundraiser's total to create better transparency for the donors. **What problems is Snap! Raise solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our boys basketball program was able to raise funds to travel to a prestigious tournament after Christmas to Ketchikan, Alaska, helping create some of our players' favorite experience of the season on that trip. We were also able to raise funds to replace water bottles, old basketballs and help prepare to meet other program needs. ### 4. Snap! is an easy way to raise funds for your sport! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Sports | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2023 **What do you like best about Snap! Raise?** I like how easy it is to set up Snap! and the fact that there are QR codes that make it technology-friendly. The Snap! store where fans can get gear for the players or purchase some themselves is also a great motivator. Players found it easy to use and returning players were thankful that their emails saved year after year, so they can use them again if they stay in the program. I also found the site easy to manage when checking in on players and their progress. **What do you dislike about Snap! Raise?** Snap! does take a small fee for using their platform. The percentage is small, but when you raise a sizable chunk of money, it does feel like it takes a good amount from your total. **What problems is Snap! Raise solving and how is that benefiting you?** Snap! is helping us raise money for gear that we would not be able to purchase otherwise. The district does not supply much for extra gear and it is nice to be able to get more gear for players and make them feel like being part of the program. ### 5. Snap raise was an extremely easy and efficient way to raise funds for my program! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2023 **What do you like best about Snap! Raise?** Snap Raise was an easy and quick way to raise funds for my choral program. Implementing the funraiser was easy due to students frontloading all of the work of collecting emails. They did not have to worry about selling products, collecting money, or delivering products like a normal fundraiser. Caroline was my snap representative and she was very helpful when it came to answering questions and concerns that I had throughout the process. I also liked the incentive feature and Snap store for students to get products with a group logo. **What do you dislike about Snap! Raise?** The only down-side of using snap was that I had some parents that were confused or weary of sharing people's emails. Caroline was helpful in this area too by showing how to share the link as well as suggesting to take donations for those who did not want to participate. All-in-all, nothing about the Snap Raise system and fundraiser itself had any downfalls in my opinion. **What problems is Snap! Raise solving and how is that benefiting you?** Snap raise helped to raise money for my choral program to purchase supplies, music, accompanists, and help fund for trips. This makes it to where students do not have to pay to be in the program. ### 6. Great way to raise funds for any program! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Shaun P. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2023 **What do you like best about Snap! Raise?** I love how quickly you can get the fundraiser started and get donations flowing in immediately. I really like how the emails get sent out automatically once a week after the original send. This helps us to generate more donations as the month goes on. I also like how the fundraiser time can be customized. I wanted a shorter time frame for the donations and my rep was able to do that for me. **What do you dislike about Snap! Raise?** In the past, I have had issues getting my check. This has been a headache, and sometimes it is delivered to the wrong person, or writen out to the wrong person. It is very hard tracking checks down at the school district office. However, NOW, my SnapRaise representative is hand delivering the check to me like I had requested, so we should have no problems going forward. **What problems is Snap! Raise solving and how is that benefiting you?** They are allowing me to get my check handed to me in person after completion of the fundraiser. ### 7. Easy for the administrator **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kelly E. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 02, 2023 **What do you like best about Snap! Raise?** What is helpful about snap is that all the money is collected and comes in one check. As a busy head coach who has a lot of tasks. This was helpful. I also love that I didn't have to deliver any products. The other thing that was great was getting people, donors, from the farther away involved. **What do you dislike about Snap! Raise?** It was a bit of a chore to remind the kids to put in their emails. Also, some families were opposed to this type of fundraising, which was a barrier. Some additional positive marketing toward parents who are hesitant would be great. **What problems is Snap! Raise solving and how is that benefiting you?** The only problem is families or kids who don't want to participate or I have already tapped out on asking people for donations. It absolutely benefited us by bringing a big chunk of money without having to do product delivery or deposit several checks. ### 8. Boys Basketball Fundraiser **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Riley K. | Independent Contractor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2023 **What do you like best about Snap! Raise?** The account managers are very responsive and on top of everything. The Snap platform is super easy to navigate and on board all participants. Even the high school kids can manage and utilize the platform effectively! I also loved the goal setting for our players to incentivize getting more active in the fundraiser, and the kids loved the rewards as well! **What do you dislike about Snap! Raise?** The only issue we ran into with Snap Raise was the timeframe for getting our check. This is not really a downside because you can setup a direct deposit, which in hindsight I should have utilized and then not had this issue! **What problems is Snap! Raise solving and how is that benefiting you?** Snap Raise solves the major issue with all fundraising....the issue of time! Snap minimizes the time necessary to setup, on board participants, recieve donations from donors, and manage the fudraiser! Everything is very streamlined and easy to use with minimum time put in. ### 9. Fantastic fundraising opportunity **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Erin B. | Director Of Operations, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2023 **What do you like best about Snap! Raise?** Snap Raise is organize, user friendly and gets the job done. The online format is simple to follow and easy to send to friends and family. The staff is helpful and on top of it with progress and suggestions. Lots of options to donate or buy students gear. **What do you dislike about Snap! Raise?** Nothing! We love snap raise and all aspects. **What problems is Snap! Raise solving and how is that benefiting you?** Snap help's our girls and boys tennis team get vital donations. It describes what we are using funds for and makes it easy for our community to donate. It keeps things in one space and the timeframe is long enough but gets us our funds in time for season. ### 10. Raised $20k in a month! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kelsey C. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2023 **What do you like best about Snap! Raise?** I love that once the fundraiser launches, there is not much work required on my end. There is planning involved and some work that has to be done before launch (if you're really serious about raising money and want your students to buy in), but all of that effort is worth it once you see the donations rolling in. **What do you dislike about Snap! Raise?** I think the only downside for me would be the percentage of money raised that the company takes. I get it, that's how they are able to function, but the high percentage turns some people off. **What problems is Snap! Raise solving and how is that benefiting you?** This fundraiser helps with the lack of funding I receive from my school district. I have 210 students in my middle school band program and receive $2,700 per year. This money allows us to purcahse and upgrade equipment that so desperately needs it. ## Snap!
