Snap! Raise alternatives: what your team keeps from each $100

Snap! Raise’s help page says partner programs keep 80% of what they raise, so $80 of each $100, and its FAQ says “80 percent or more”. Lower-fee options include 99Pledges, Givebutter, Schoolfundr, Teamfi and Zeffy, which leave a high school team about $94 to $100 of a $100 card gift, and Secondslide, which takes 0% of donations on Secondslide Raise.

On Secondslide Raise, standard payment processing still applies unless the donor covers it, and Secondslide Raise is available to selected programs. Secondslide team stores also raise money, and Secondslide pays the program’s earnings in cash.

The difference is how the provider gets paid and how much help comes with it. Snap! Raise and Vertical Raise take a share of the money and put an expert or coach on the campaign. Some lower-fee options also offer help: 99Pledges will set up the fundraiser and offers a coach, and Schoolfundr offers a dedicated fundraising expert. Confirm what help comes with each option before you compare fees.

Secondslide publishes this guide and is one of the options, so its row in the table is marked as our own. We read each provider’s own pages on November 11, 2026. We did not open accounts or test donations. Fees change, so get the current rate in writing before you launch. Use the free quote checklist to compare two options with the same gifts.

What your team keeps from each $100

This table uses one $100 card gift, with no donor tip or fee coverage added. Rates come from each provider’s own page, checked November 11, 2026. Some depend on plan, processor and whether your organization is a nonprofit.

Sources, checked November 11, 2026: Snap! Raise cost, Snap! Raise FAQs, Vertical Raise terms, Vertical Raise high school fundraising, 99Pledges, Givebutter pricing, Schoolfundr, Teamfi, Zeffy and Zeffy eligibility. Secondslide Raise: Secondslide for clubs, checked November 2026.

How we did the math: $100 minus each percentage, minus the flat fee per gift. For 99Pledges, $100 - $3.49 - $0.49 = $96.02. For Teamfi, $100 - $2.90 - $0.30 = $96.80. A flat fee per gift costs more on small gifts, so use your own expected gift sizes.

Optional donor tips are separate from the gift. Givebutter, Schoolfundr, Teamfi and Zeffy say they run on optional donor tips or contributions. Check what donors see at checkout before you share the link.

Who does the outreach work

In every model, players and parents still send the asks to family and friends. What changes is who sets up the campaign and keeps it moving.

• Snap! Raise: participants reach out by email, text and social media, and a dedicated expert guides the campaign. Most campaigns run 28 days.
• Vertical Raise: a coach creates the team’s page and helps each participant make a personal page. Participants share through its invite tool by social media, text and email.
• 99Pledges and Schoolfundr: no platform fee. 99Pledges says it will set up the fundraiser and offers a dedicated coach. Schoolfundr offers a dedicated fundraising expert.
• Givebutter, Teamfi and Zeffy: the pages we read describe self-run tools. Ask what support is included, and plan on an adult who builds the page, sets the goal, sends reminders and thanks donors.

If no adult has time to run the campaign, ask each provider exactly what its expert or coach will do, then compare that with the share or fee. If you have an organized volunteer, a self-run page keeps the most of each gift for the team.

Snap! Raise vs. Vertical Raise

Both are guided online campaigns built for school and club teams. Here is how their own pages compare.

Sources, checked November 11, 2026: Snap! Raise cost, Snap! Raise deposits, Snap! Raise, Vertical Raise terms, Vertical Raise and Vertical Raise high school fundraising.

Ask both for the exact share in your written agreement. Then run the same $5,000 goal through each quote and compare the dollars that reach the team’s bank account.

Which option fits your team?

Before you sign, check who the money goes to. A team may not have its school’s or booster club’s status. Ask your athletic director or booster treasurer which account and EIN to use. For more platforms and their payout timing, see our team fundraising platforms guide. For ways to run a booster program, see booster club fundraising.
