Simple, Transparent Pricing Built for Real Nonprofit Fundraisers

How much does the platform cost?

But experienced fundraising teams eventually realize a more important question:

How much money will the fundraiser actually raise?

For purchase‑style fundraising events like raffles, the checkout experience can influence how many supporters complete their purchase. If the checkout becomes confusing, adds unexpected fees, or pressures supporters with tipping prompts, many simply abandon the purchase.

Chance2Win was built specifically for real nonprofit fundraising events. The pricing options are designed to keep checkout simple, transparent, and optimized for completed purchases.

What Does Fundraising Software Actually Cost?

Most nonprofit fundraising platforms use one of three pricing models. The difference isn’t simply who pays the fee — the structure of the checkout itself can dramatically affect how many supporters actually complete their purchase.

Step 1 icon

Organization-Paid Pricing

Your organization pays a platform fee. Supporters see a clean, simple checkout with no additional charges.

Step 2 icon

Supporter Service Fees

Supporters cover a clearly disclosed service fee at checkout. Your organization pays nothing to the platform.

Step 3 icon

Tip-Based Pricing

Supporters are prompted to add a voluntary “tip” to the platform. This approach tends to create significant checkout friction.

Here’s what the data actually shows: The checkout experience — not the fee percentage — is often the biggest factor in how much a fundraiser raises. A confusing prompt at the payment screen can cost far more than any platform fee.

Choose the Model That Fits Your Fundraiser

Both options run on the same professional raffle platform. The difference is who pays
the platform fee — and how that shapes the supporter checkout experience.

Option 1 · Supporter-Paid

Run Your Raffle at No Cost to Your Organization

Supporters cover a clearly disclosed service fee during checkout. Your organization keeps the full ticket price — every dollar of it.

Best for Revenue
Option 2 · Organization-Paid

Maximize Completed Purchases & Total Funds Raised

Your organization pays a low platform fee. Supporters see a clean ticket purchase with no extra charges — the simplest possible checkout experience.

From $329 per fundraiser

1 Ticket $10
3 Tickets $25
10 Tickets Most Popular $50

Checkout friction has a measurable impact

Based on normalized analysis from tens of thousands of raffle transactions, different pricing models produce very different checkout completion behavior.
Pricing model Incremental checkout abandonment Fundraising impact
Organization-paid pricing 0% Normal purchase behavior
Supporter service fee (~12%) ~1% Minimal impact
Service charge 11–14% 1–2% Slight friction
Tip prompt around 15% ~25% Major hesitation
Tip prompts 17–30% 30–40% Severe abandonment

The difference between fundraising platforms is often not the fee percentage.

The difference is how many supporters actually complete the purchase.

Why Checkout Simplicity Matters in Raffles

Raffle purchases behave more like ticket purchases than charitable donations.

Supporters usually arrive at the checkout with a clear expectation of what they plan to buy. If the final step introduces surprise fees, confusing prompts, or aggressive tipping requests, many supporters leave instead of completing the purchase.

Simple, transparent checkout almost always produces stronger fundraising results.

Raffle Buyers Think Like Ticket Buyers — Not Donors

That distinction matters more than most fundraising teams realize. When a supporter arrives at the checkout for a raffle, they have already decided what they want to buy. The ticket selection is done. The payment screen should be the easy part.

If that final step introduces a surprise fee, an aggressive tip prompt, or a confusing extra charge — a meaningful share of supporters will abandon the purchase entirely. Not because they’ve changed their mind about the cause, but because something unexpected disrupted a straightforward transaction.

Simple, transparent checkout almost always produces stronger fundraising results. It respects the supporter’s decision and lets them finish what they came to do.

From the Raffle Hotline

“Which fundraising platform has the lowest fee?”

It’s the most common question we hear from nonprofit organizers — and it’s a reasonable place to start. But after supporting thousands of raffle campaigns, the real pattern looks different.

Organizations that choose platforms with confusing checkout flows often lose more revenue from abandoned purchases than they ever expected. The visible platform fee is rarely the biggest factor affecting total funds raised.

Frequently Asked Questions

K
L

What is the main difference between the two Chance2Win pricing options?

The difference is how fees are handled during checkout. In the supporter-paid model, the supporter sees a clearly disclosed service fee. In the organization-paid model, the nonprofit pays the platform cost so supporters see a cleaner checkout with no added service charge.
K
L

Which pricing option usually produces the strongest checkout performance?

The low-cost organization-paid model usually produces the strongest completion behavior because it keeps the purchase path simplest. That is generally the best fit for larger raffles and campaigns focused on maximizing revenue.
K
L

Is the supporter-paid model still effective?

Yes. Based on the fundraising model used for Chance2Win comparisons, the supporter-paid approach shows minimal measurable friction when the service fee is clear and presented without tip-style pressure.
K
L

Why are tip-prompt platforms treated differently?

Because tip prompts introduce extra decisions and emotional friction at the final step of checkout. In raffle-style purchases, that friction can materially reduce completed purchases compared with transparent, predictable pricing.
K
L

What kinds of fundraisers work well with Chance2Win pricing?

The pricing structure is designed for raffle-style fundraising events, including traditional raffles, basket raffles, Queen of Hearts, duck races, ball drops, and other purchase-style campaigns where checkout clarity matters.
K
L

Does every plan include the same core platform infrastructure?

Yes. Both models use the same professional platform foundation. The decision is really about how fees are handled and what kind of supporter checkout experience you want to present.
