Why schools work with us
What your school keeps when it owns the site.
Most fundraising tools rent you a page. We build a website your school owns. In practice, that changes four things.
- 01
Your own web address
Families give at fund.yourschool.org, not on a platform’s link with someone else’s logo at the top of the page.
- 02
Every gift goes to your Stripe account
Donations are paid into your school’s own Stripe account. We take no percentage of any donation. Stripe’s standard card fee is the only deduction.
- 03
Your donor list, in your hands
Each gift is saved with the donor’s name, amount and campaign. Your treasurer can export it to a spreadsheet at any time.
- 04
Records that outlast the board
When officers change at the end of the year, the website, the campaigns and the giving history stay with the school.

FAQ
Questions schools ask about fundraising websites.
A few of the questions school teams ask most often.
Does our school own its website?
Yes. Your school owns its installation: the website on your domain, your content, your campaigns, your donor records and your donation history. RaiseKit builds each site on our own reusable base system, which we license to you as part of the project. The details are set out in your client agreement before any work starts.
Can we use our own domain?
Yes, and we recommend it. Most schools use a subdomain of their existing website, such as fund.yourschool.org or giving.yourschool.org. We handle the DNS setup with whoever manages your school’s domain.
Where do donations go?
Straight to your school’s own Stripe account. Donors pay through Stripe’s secure checkout and the money is deposited into the bank account your school connects to Stripe. RaiseKit never holds or touches donation funds.
Does RaiseKit charge donation commissions?
No. RaiseKit takes zero percentage of donations. We charge a one-time fee to build and set up your website, plus optional fees for hosting or extra modules if you choose them. Stripe charges its standard card processing fees, which are paid to Stripe, not to us.
Do we need our own Stripe account?
Yes. Your school, PTA, PTO or booster club creates its own Stripe account in its own name. We help you through the setup and connect it to your website, so every donation is paid directly to you.
Can our staff manage campaigns?
Yes. Your website includes an administration dashboard where your team can create and edit campaigns, write updates, upload photos, track progress toward goals, view donations and export donor records to CSV. No technical skills are needed.
Can we host the website ourselves?
Yes. Hosting is optional. If your school or district has its own hosting or IT team, we can deploy your website there and hand over everything needed to run it.
Can RaiseKit manage hosting?
Yes. Our optional Managed Hosting service covers hosting, SSL, deployments, backups, basic monitoring and technical maintenance for a recurring fee. You can cancel and move your website to independent hosting later.
Can you customize the portal?
Yes. Every school gets its own customized installation: your branding, your campaign structure and your content. If you need functionality beyond the standard portal, such as an extra module or integration, we quote that work separately.
How long does development take?
It depends on the scope you need. A standard branded portal can usually be ready in a few weeks once we have your branding, content and Stripe account. We confirm a timeline in your proposal, and Stripe verification or domain access on your side can affect it.
