How FanAngel compares to other fundraisers

There are so many fundraising options these days; how does a team or program choose? And how does FanAngel compare?

FanAngel vs. Product sales

Donuts, cookie dough, poinsettias... Product sale fundraisers can be nice because supporters "get something" in return for their contribution. But not everyone is going to want whatever-it-is you're selling. And you'll only keep 50% (at best) of the money you collect. You also have to manage orders, inventory, and cash/checks.

FanAngel is easier to manage than product sales, and you keep 90% of every donation.
But if you want to a way to accept payment for products online, FanAngel's donor reward feature is a great way to do just that!

FanAngel vs. Events

Spaghetti dinners, casino nights, and other event-based fundraisers are great for building community and rallying support. But they require a significant amount of planning, not to mention execution. Unless you rely solely on donations and volunteers, your take-home will again be in the 50% or less range. And similar to product sales, there are tickets, cash, and checks to manage.

FanAngel vs. traditional crowdfunding

Traditional crowdfunding platforms were designed for individuals. So while their fees are low, they don't have the right features for getting a team or group working together toward a common goal. You would have to figure out the approach, tax implications, and everything else on your own.

FanAngel's fee is higher than traditional crowdfunding platforms, but our team-based approach, automated and personalized outreach, and supportive campaign coaches set you up for better outcomes.

FanAngel vs. other team-based crowdfunding

FanAngel isn’t the only team-based crowdfunding platform on the market. But we have carved out a niche for programs that want to maximize their fundraising efforts by being slightly more hands-on.

As a remote-first company even before the pandemic, we know how to deliver fantastic customer support without being on site at your location. That’s how we keep our platform fee at 7%, compared to 15-20%+ with our competitors. It’s also why we charge no penalties or upfront costs. If you raise $0, we get $0. With credit card fees at roughly 3%, you keep 90% of every donation.

FanAngel's fee is lower than other team-based crowdfunding platforms, while still offering guidance and support (remotely).
