I was using another platform that promoted "Free" but it actually takes a lot of our donation money in the form of "tips" from our donors and after our computer wiz at our organization did the math, we realized we were losing around 9% of our donation volume to this issue. We tried the free version of mightycause and then subscribed for only $69/month and found their pricing guarantee during the trial which is 1.9% so we made the switch and get to keep more of our donations. I also like their campaign builder and the peer-to-peer stuff was something we tried with them that helped get us more donors.

I don't know who Claire talked to at Razoo, but maybe Claire was the rude one? My experience with Razoo customer service has been nothing but phenomenal! Everyone I've talked to has been amazing, specifically Ashley and Bryce. I tend to feel like customer service is extremely poor these days in general, but they have proven to me that quality customer does still exist.

I was trying to set up a fundraiser on another site but somehow when I was doing it Might cause ended up being the one who took over! I really didn't think much about it until I published it but there was no explanation of how the funds would be paid to my cause. Too sketchy for me! I deleted the entire thing and now will make sure I'm not redirected.

website was user friendly when donating. you have to set up an account before donating which only took a few minutes. at the end they i didn't like how there was a percentage to click on before submitting your donation. i am not sure what that was for but it was a high percentage. i think go fund me was lower. that was the only negative thing.

Hi. I just donated for a cause I believe in Mighty Cause/Razoo Foundation. Soon after, I discovered that Gofundme charges a 3% processing fee and Razoo charges a 7.9% processing fee. Way too much!!! Until Razoo is more compatible, I will discourage others from giving via Mighty Cause/Razoo Foundation. Thank you.

Their customer service is horrible. It is probably the worst I have seen in 50 years of fundraising for nonprofits. They are rude to the customers and when you ask to speak to someone else, they will not allow you to.
