For Democratic, progressive, and nonpartisan campaigns

Your money. Your donors. Your site.

RaiseHQ is the donation platform that doesn't sit on your money and doesn't put a third party between you and your donors. Donations happen on your own website, funds settle directly into your own Stripe account, and every feature is included — no subscription, no minimums.

  • Bank-grade security. Card data never touches our servers.
  • Direct Stripe payouts. We don't have access to or control of your funds.
  • Events built in. Ticketing, RSVPs, on-site tap-to-pay.
  • Apple Pay & Google Pay. Native checkout, no redirects.
  • On your own URL. Donors never leave your campaign site.
  • No subscription. No setup fee. No minimums.
How it works

Four steps. Most campaigns are live the same day.

STEP 01

Set up your campaign

Connect your Stripe account through Stripe Connect, then tell us your committee type, jurisdiction, and which offices you're running for. We load the right contribution limits and required fields automatically.

STEP 02

Embed the donation form

Drop two lines into your website. Donors give without ever leaving your site. Apple Pay and Google Pay work out of the box.

STEP 03

Receive payouts

Donations land in your campaign's own Stripe account, then flow to your bank account on a daily payout schedule — typically two business days after each donation. RaiseHQ is never in the payout path.

STEP 04

Export or sync to the systems you already use

Customizable exports configured for Netfile, ISPolitical, NGP VAN, and generic CSV — plus live integrations with Mailchimp, Action Network, Google Sheets, and any system that reads our API or webhooks.

Events & in-person

Fundraise at the door. No hardware.

No card reader. No Terminal hardware. Any phone or tablet.

House parties, canvasses, county dinners — in-person giving is built in, not a separate product with separate fees. Your team collects the donor's details on the Entry Mode form, takes the tap on a phone or tablet, and RaiseHQ matches it into one complete, validated record. Multi-tier ticketing, attendee tracking, and free RSVPs come standard. Learn more →

Built for the campaigns running it

You stay in control. We stay out of the way.

Ownership of your money and your donors. Capabilities most platforms charge extra for. The reach to run a real campaign on your terms.

01 — Ownership

Yours to keep.

Money, donors, data. None of it gets stuck in our system.

  • 01

    Your money never touches our balance sheet

    Direct payouts to your own Stripe account. We're not a conduit PAC and not a Treasurer of Record. Your funds stay yours from the first dollar through to your bank.

  • 02

    Donors give on your URL, not on a shared platform

    No cross-campaign donor network. No shared identity layer. Your donor list is just your list — yours to use, yours to export.

  • 03

    Simple all-in pricing, no subscription

    3.4% + $0.30 per transaction. No subscription. No setup fee. No minimums.

  • 04

    Bank-grade security

    Card data never touches our servers — Stripe handles payment isolation. We see contributions, never raw card numbers.

  • 05

    Start taking donations quickly

    Connect your Stripe account, drop two lines of code on your site, start taking donations. Stripe's standard verification typically completes within minutes for most committees.

02 — Capabilities

Built in, not bolted on.

Events, mobile wallets, one-click giving, server-side ad tracking. All included.

  • 06

    Event fundraisers, built in

    Multi-tier ticketing, attendee tracking, and Entry Mode for in-person tablet collection. No separate event platform.

  • 07

    Tap-to-pay at events from day one

    Volunteers collect donor info on the Entry Mode form, then take payment via tap-to-pay on any phone or tablet. Records auto-matched.

  • 08

    Apple Pay and Google Pay that work

    Native checkout for Apple Pay and Google Pay, served directly from your own URL. No redirects, no broken integrations.

  • 09

    One-click checkout for millions of donors

    Built-in Stripe Link support. Any donor with a saved Stripe card across the consumer web can give in one click.

  • 10

    Server-side ad tracking from day one

    Meta CAPI and Google Ads conversions fire from our servers — through ad blockers and iOS privacy restrictions.

03 — Reach

Ready for your campaign.

On your site, in your state, with your compliance vendor.

  • 11

    Donors stay on your site

    Native embed renders directly on your page. Three modes — inline, modal button, or hosted page — to fit any site.

  • 12

    Limits and rules enforced for your state

    Transaction-time enforcement of contribution limits, automatic election-cycle assignment, required attestations. If your state isn't already configured, we add it before your first donation.

  • 13

    Plays nicely with the systems you already use

    Customizable exports configured for Netfile, ISPolitical, NGP VAN, and generic CSV — your filer handles the rest. Live integrations with Mailchimp, Action Network, Google Sheets, plus a REST API and webhooks for anything else. You handle the filing; we hand you the data.

Vs. legacy platforms

Built differently. On purpose.

Most platforms in this category were built more than a decade ago. The architecture shows. Here's where the differences add up.

RaiseHQ

  • Funds settle directly to your own Stripe account.
  • Two-line embed renders inline. Donors never redirect.
  • Apple Pay and Google Pay work natively on your URL
  • Events, ticketing, and tap-to-pay built in
  • No tiers, no gated features. Everything for everyone.

Legacy platforms

  • Funds routed through the platform, then re-disbursed to you
  • Donors are often redirected to a hosted page
  • Apple Pay and Google Pay often broken inside iframe embeds
  • Events handled by a separate product, separate fees
  • Subscription required for the features that matter
All-in transaction fee
3.4%+ $0.30
No subscription · No setup fee · No minimums

One all-in rate. No tiers, no subscription, no surprises.

That's the all-in rate — every feature included, no tiers, no premium unlocks, no annual commitment. Your funds settle directly into your own Stripe account, and we never insert a tip prompt or take a cut of what your donors meant for you.

Where your money goes

Your campaign stays in control of every dollar.

Donations flow directly from the donor into your campaign's own Stripe account, then to your bank — typically within two business days of the donation. RaiseHQ never sits in the middle.

We validate each transaction against your jurisdiction's contribution limits and required fields — but we're never in the payout path. Not a conduit PAC, not a Treasurer of Record, not a money transmitter.
