FAQ

This is a short list of our most frequently asked questions. For more information about Care Fundraising, or if you need support, please contact us.

What is Care Fundraising?

Our fundraising platform is designed to provide an easy solution for anyone to raise money. There are lots of online fundraising options out there, but none are as easy as our system.

How much does it cost?

There is no charge to start a fundraising campaign. At a minimum, you keep over 80% of money raised online once it has finished. Campaigns that raise over $2,500 keep 85%, and over $5000 keep 90%! There is no additional fee for not reaching your fundraising goal. There is a standard 3% payment processing fee involved with all online transactions, but that comes out of our fee, not yours.

Is this site safe?

We employ the highest level of security to ensure no personal information is under threat. Donations are processed by Authorize.net, the world’s largest payment processing system (larger than PayPal). Care Fundraising does not view, process, interact, or store your credit card or personal information. We do not resell information or raw analytical data to third-party vendors. In addition, the campaign pages and checkout process are encrypted with the same level of security as online banking, and our security certificates are provided and continually verified by GoDaddy, the world’s largest domain registrar, hosting company, and security certificate provider.

Is my personal information sold or viewed by anyone?

We do not sell, give, or in any way provide your email, personal information, or credit card information to anyone or any third parties. Additionally you credit card information is neither seen nor stored by us or any other party; it is encrypted and processed by Authorize.net, the world's largest payment processing system.

No vendors receive information, data, or metrics from any party (donators, staff, etc) in return for coupons & discounts

Am I going to get hassled by email to donate?

No, you will not receive any messages from us. We do not subscribe people to email newsletters or send them automatic reminders. The only time a donator or potential donator will ever receive an email from Care Fundraising is if they are sent an email by a specific student/team member/etc who has their information.
