What is a professional fundraiser?

A professional fundraiser is any business that solicits money on a charity's behalf.

The business may solicit donations through a variety of means, including via an internet platform, a charitable auction, the sale of tickets for an event, and more.

More often than not, professional fundraisers use the nonprofit’s name or likeness in fundraising efforts.

Built for how professional fundraisers operate

Maximize your fundraising impact with tools that streamline compliance, reduce overhead, and keep every campaign on track.

Harness the power of a donor-advised fund (DAF)

Send funds electronically and follow every dollar donated without the manual overhead. Our Change Foundation is our donor-advised fund (DAF) partner and acts as the nonprofit on record, streamlining your regulatory agreements and nonprofit payouts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of fundraising campaigns can the Change platform support?

Our platform is versatile and designed to support a variety of fundraising campaigns including sweepstakes, drawings, raffles, auctions, digital fundraising campaigns, direct solicitation, and can adapt to meet your needs effectively.

How does your platform help in managing compliance for fundraising campaigns?

Our platform manages all necessary reporting requirements and simplifies the legal complexities typically associated with fundraising.

How am I paid in one day?

All donations are directed first to our partner donor-advised fund (“DAF”), Our Change Foundation. The DAF distributes 100% of the donations, minus professional fundraiser expenses (i.e. your revenue), to the charity. This process can happen in as little as one day. Then, you are immediately paid your portion from the DAF.

Do charities like working with Change?

Charities prefer to work with Change because money is collected and distributed more quickly, and they have access to comprehensive reporting.

Will I save money?

Yes, especially on legal compliance for ongoing campaigns. When we run a cost-benefit analysis for our Professional Fundraiser customers, they typically enjoy significant cost savings. In addition to reduced legal costs, labor hours fall significantly, allowing you to reallocate resources to new and larger campaigns to drive more revenue.

What is the risk of not doing compliance correctly?

State regulators pay close attention to professional fundraising activities. Failure to comply with state law often results in fines. For example, South Carolina collected $654,720 in fines in the 2022-2023 fiscal year from professional solicitors. These fines were primarily due to late joint financial reports as well as delinquent registrations.
