Snap!

Beware of this company that keeps at least 23% and as much as over 30% of the funds raised. What I have seen in the industry is 3−8%.
The company hides their fees on their webpage like the competition does, and gives you the run-​around when you ask what the fees are.
When I finally got a straight answer, the response was that I should be thinking of it like Mercedes vs Pinto. What??? We’re talking a crowd-​sourced fundraising app. The Mercedes in that scenario is the one that operates efficiently and with integrity.
Please avoid this company.

How can you keep 30% of these kids fees?! It is not right and not fair. I do not know why anyone would participate in this. I will work with my kids school to do one where they get donations to their program and do not have to pay these outrageous fees. 10−15% is reasonable. 30% is a joke

Can you rate –5? This company is preying on schools and non-​profits to make their money. We approached them to help our basketball team raise funds for an upcoming tournament and the only fees disclosed was that there is a 3% credit card charge and that if we raise less than 2K they will take that as a fee. So our kids worked hard to raise the money (more than the 2K) they need to go to the tournament, but after the fundraising, this company took more than 30% of the funds raised as fees which now leaves our kids with not enough funds to go to the tournament. I am looking to check with BBB to complain about the shady way this company operates. If you notice, on Unilocal,their name says Snap! and not Snap-​raise which is what we know them for. Maybe to hide the complaints and bad reviews. I added Snap-​Raise here on Unilocal so the organizations looking for reviews will see one for them. I wonder if they have repeat customers because if you were in your right mind, you will never come back to this company. Let’s see how long their company can keep deceiving new customers. Unilocal and word of mouth can be powerful. This company will not be successful with their greedy and shady business. The one 5 star review must be from the Rep that we dealt with.

Don’t give SnapRaise your money! Snap-​Raise kept over 31% of the money that our school raised. Donors and Fundraising groups READ THESE REVIEWS! Donate directly to your organization if possible. That is $ 300+ for every $ 1,000 your group raises. They are the only fundraising type company who won’t disclose the fee schedule up front and be transparent. Check out CrowdRise and their 3% fees.

Prior to donating through this company I highly recommend that you contact your local school organization and determine what the actual % donated to the group is.

We used this platform for our high school sports team, and the team will only keep a MAXIMUM of 77% of the received donations, and as little as 70% depending on participation. This info was not readily disclosed up front. They are not clear about how the «participation» points work. I felt it was a scam, and I’ve emailed all my daughter’s donors and told them to ask for a refund. The company website with a list of FAQs says donors can receive a refund while the fundraiser is still active, but the donation page «terms of use» (which you have to navigate to find) says no refunds, so we will see.
Our team would have been A LOT better off setting up a «Gofundme» page or, better yet, a paypal account. So disappointed.
We used the Sacramento branch.

Fees are outrageous. 30%! Making profits off of non-​profits.

Watch out if you use this site as a fundraiser for your program! Very disappointed and not clearly delineated what they charge to run this thing. This looked like a great idea and a fairly simple way to try and raise funds for our Cheer Program until you get to the fine print.
And while I have no problem at all with them charging a modest fee, these guys take a whopping 30% of pledged funds from each donation! 30%! Again, while a modest fee would not be an objection, this percentage seems very excessive for what they do. Bring your fees down guys and I would have gladly written a more positive review.
