Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • July 2026 launched Tap to Donate, expanding Fundraise Up beyond web donations.
  • Peer-to-Peer Fundraising nearly doubled first-gift fundraiser participation in early access.

What critics are saying

  • Classy and other nonprofit platforms can bundle peer-to-peer and event tools by 2026.
  • Tap to Donate is US-only today, limiting international expansion and revenue diversification.
  • Heavy dependence on donation-conversion optimization makes checkout failure an existential growth risk.

What makes Fundraise Up unique

  • Fundraise Up unifies online, event, and peer-to-peer giving into one donor record.
  • UNICEF USA and Canadian Red Cross validate enterprise-grade nonprofit trust and scale.
  • Its AI-powered checkout and fee-covering features drive a reported 30% conversion lift.

Fundraise Up launches Tap to Donate and Peer-to-Peer fundraising with AI-powered tools

Fundraise Up has launched two new products: Tap to Donate and Peer-to-Peer Fundraising, both now in early access. The Brooklyn-based company reports its technology has driven an average 30% lift in conversion for nonprofits that switched to its platform. Tap to Donate allows staff and volunteers to accept donations on phones or iPads at events. Early-access nonprofits saw average gift sizes rise 24% compared to previous in-person giving tools. The feature is included at no additional cost. The Peer-to-Peer Fundraising product uses an AI coach to help supporters create campaigns, write their stories, and track progress. During early access, the share of fundraisers raising at least one gift nearly doubled. Both products integrate with Fundraise Up's existing payments infrastructure used by nonprofits including UNICEF USA and the Canadian Red Cross.
