Fundraising with Simple Raise and CutTime

Sign into your CutTime account and then look for the ‘Fundraising’ link, which is located in the main side navigation. Click on ‘Fundraising’ and it will instantly recognize your account credentials and take you to a Simple Raise Explainer Landing Page, where you can learn more and continue your connection over to the Simple Raise application by clicking the ‘Get Started’ button.

If you are the first user in your organization to connect with Simple Raise, you will be prompted to complete your organization’s set up with logo, custom primary color, and description.

Nope! The simple beauty of CutTime’s integration with Simple Raise is that your existing account credentials are instantly recognized when you enter directly from CutTime. CutTime users DO NOT need to sign up for an additional account with Simple Raise.

You have the option to fundraise using your program's Angel Fund and share a single link with your students, their families, and your community - no sign up required!

If you choose to track individual participant fundraising goals, you just need to 'sync' and invite your existing CutTime member groups, which will trigger an email or mobile phone notification to join your specific fundraiser. Once your participants accept their personal invitation, they complete their profile and set a password. At this time, we are unable to send participant invitations via the Member’s assigned CutTime Magic Link.

You can create a store to sell a single product or a handful - it’s up to you! For each product listed in your store, you will enter the total available quantity that you have to sell. At checkout, if a product has reached its maximum sales, Simple Raise will display a ‘sold out’ message to the shopper and the item will be removed from their shopping cart

Yes! You can list third-party vendor products, just be sure to include details about delivery and/or pickup instructions in the description so your donors will understand what they need to do to receive their items post-sale.

Great news, CutTime handles the fundraising credit allocation for you! Using the Member Participant Contact and Goal Amounts, CutTime knows how to allocate the credit entries into the relevant student account balance statements as well as your Angel Fund (if you’ve enabled Stripe Connect for your program). We make the entries according to how you set up your fundraiser - either based on group/team goal or individual goals.

We will collect your financial information to set up payout of your proceeds via ACH or manual check. Typically, your payout is scheduled within seven business days of the conclusion of your fundraising activity. For product sales via online stores, payouts can either be scheduled on a recurring basis for stores with a longer time horizon or one-time if the store is only open for a limited time period.

Exciting news! Simple Raise is now working for tips! ZERO FEES, You Keep 100% of your donations. This means that YOU and your program can relish the freedom from fees! We are eliminating the 10% platform fee, and we will also cover the 3.5% convenience fee that is assessed by our payment processor when a donation is made to your fundraisers, or when a product or event tickets are purchased. Your donors will have the option to add an extra tip at checkout to support the upkeep of our platform in addition to their donation to your program.
