Account & Payment

How do I find my enrollment code?

An enrollment code is provided to the coordinator of your organization. Members of an organization can contact the coordinator directly to request their organization's unique enrollment code.

How do I reset my username or password?

On the RaiseRight sign-in screen, click “Forgot Username or Password?”. Then, follow the steps to reset your username or password.

How do I view my earnings?

Go to your Dashboard within Account, where you'll see your earnings for the last 3 months, 6 months, and year. The earnings shown are based on your total purchases and may not represent your organization’s distribution policy if they only share a certain percentage of earnings with you. 

How do I receive my earnings?

Earnings are distributed directly to your organization, depending on which payment method you use. Please visit Receiving Organization Earnings for more information. 

Coordinators can track each participant's earnings using reporting tools. Every organization independently manages earning requirements, earnings distribution percentages, etc. If you're a participant, please check with your coordinator to learn more about how your earnings are applied and distributed. 

How do I track the balance of my gift cards?

Balances for eGift cards will update when you view the eGift card in your Wallet. For some brands, you may notice that the balance must be tracked manually.  

To check the balance for these eGift cards (and your physical gift cards), refer to the brand’s website or relevant contact information. You may find this information in the eGift card terms and conditions or on the back of your gift card.

How do participants pay for gift card orders?

If your organization allows online payments, you'll have the option to pay using a bank account, debit card, or credit card. These options are available to you in your cart during checkout if you pay online.

What if my organization doesn’t allow online payments?

Your organization may require payments be made directly to the coordinator, typically via cash or check. Please get in touch with your coordinator to discuss ordering and payment options for your group. Note that this may limit your ability to access program features, such as shipping gift cards directly to your home.  

How does my organization pay for gift card orders?

Organizations can pay for gift card orders via ACH transfer or check. We strongly recommend ACH transfer, as it is the fastest and most secure payment method. It allows us to electronically debit your organization's bank account for the amount of the order.  

If you're unable to set up electronic payments, you can pay for organization orders with a check from the organization’s account (no personal checks). However, if you pay by check, we cannot begin processing the order until we receive and clear your check. Learn more in our Organization Terms of Use

How do I update payment information?

Go to Settings in your Account tab to update your Payment Options information.  

Participants pay a small fee for online payments: 

Bank account: $0.29 convenience fee on each transaction (flat fee regardless of your order size) 

Debit card: 1% convenience fee on each transaction (based on total value of order)

Credit card: 3% fee on each transaction (based on total value of order)  

Why don’t I need to enter a PIN when paying with my bank account?

This extra step is no longer required due to additional security steps. Transactions are secure and protected by your unique login and/or biometric login on the RaiseRight mobile app. You’re also automatically logged out after a brief period of inactivity, so your transactions and account information are protected. 

How do I find my coordinator’s contact information?

Sign in to your RaiseRight account and visit your Dashboard under Account. Your coordinator's information is listed on the website's dashboard. If you're using the RaiseRight mobile app, click on Contact My Coordinator to locate their information.

How can I change the organization I’m earning for?

If you're earning for multiple groups, you can update this by signing into your account on RaiseRight.com. Visit Account > Settings to manage which organization is selected as your Default Organization.

How do I delete my RaiseRight account?

If you would like to delete your RaiseRight account, log in to the RaiseRight mobile app and navigate to Account > Delete My Account > Delete Account. To send an account delete request via email, please contact us at [email protected].

eGift Cards

What are eGift cards?

Electronic gift cards (eGift cards) can be used for online and in-store purchases. eGift cards are immediately delivered to your Wallet and are available in your web account and RaiseRight mobile app.

How do I view and use my eGift cards?

eGift cards can be viewed and redeemed from your Wallet. Most cards can be scanned at a retailer’s register from your smartphone in the Wallet, but some establishments will need to enter the gift card number manually. Some brands also require a physical printed copy of the eGift card for redemption. To print an eGift card, open the eGift card in your Wallet and print. You may have to do this from the RaiseRight.com website if you do not have a printer connected to your mobile device.

Please refer to the eGift card’s Redemption Instructions for more information.

Can I delete eGift cards that have a $0.00 balance?

No, eGift cards cannot be deleted from your Wallet. However, eGift cards with a zero balance can be Archived. When you Archive an eGift card, the eGift card will be removed from your active list of My Cards in the Wallet.

Can I reload my eGift cards?

No, eGift cards are not reloadable.

How do I recover an eGift card that’s been archived?

In your Wallet, tap Archive. You can then filter by card type or brand to narrow your selection. Tap Unarchive on the eGift card you would like to recover to move the eGift card back to your Wallet under My Cards.

How do I send an eGift card as a gift to someone?

We offer eGifting options on our website, RaiseRight.com, and on the RaiseRight mobile app. You can schedule in advance and/or send an eGift card as a gift to a recipient via email. You'll find this option on individual brand pages for brands that offer eGift cards.

To learn more, watch these how-to videos to send eGifts via the website or the app

How do I print my eGift cards from the mobile app?

If your mobile phone is connected to a printer, you can print your eGift card like any other document. Or, you can visit RaiseRight.com to print from your desktop account. Sign in with your account information and access your eGift cards to print by going to Dashboard > Wallet, then select the eGift card to access the PDF for printing.

Physical Gift Cards

What are physical gift cards?

Physical gift cards are traditional plastic retailer gift cards.

Can I add money to my physical gift cards?

Yes, many brands offer physical gift cards that can be reloaded electronically online. To add money to a reloadable card, go to your Wallet and select “Add Card” to add it to your Wallet. When your balance is running low, locate the gift card from your Wallet and select “Add Money” to add more balance and continue earning with the same gift card.

Note: You can only add money to reloadable physical gift cards purchased from RaiseRight.

I tried to add money to a reloadable physical gift card, but it’s not working. Why?

You may need to buy and register a new gift card. Here are some reasons why (you’ll also get an email with an explanation): 

  • You’ve added money to the same gift card too many times. (This differs for each brand; some brands allow you to add money up to 99 times.)
  • The gift card was purchased more than 12 months ago.
  • The gift card has a $0.00 balance for over 60 days.

You can also double-check to see if the gift card you're attempting to reload requires overnight processing. This only applies to a few brands, as noted in the General Information for that brand.

Orders & Returns

How do I change an order?

If you're a program participant who placed a physical gift card order, you may be able to update your order by contacting your coordinator or RaiseRight Customer Support.

Money added to reloadable cards and eGift card purchases process immediately and cannot be canceled or returned.

If you're a coordinator placing an organization order, please note that physical card orders cannot be changed once they have started processing or have been billed. If the order has not started processing, you can make changes to the shipping address by going to the PO Manager and selecting Edit PO. Any adjustments to products must be made by Customer Support.

How do I view order history?

You can view your order history by signing into your account and selecting Account > Order History.

How do I return gift cards?

If the order contains eGift cards or money added to reloadable cards, they’re delivered directly to participant accounts and cannot be canceled or returned.

If you need to cancel a physical gift card purchase, please contact your coordinator or RaiseRight Customer Support immediately. We'll check the status of the order and, if possible, remove the physical gift card from your order.

See our Return Policy for more details.

I haven’t received my order. What should I do?

Physical gift cards: These are delivered to your coordinator, so please check with them for an update. If you ordered cards to ship directly to your home, please allow up to 14 days before contacting RaiseRight Customer Support.

eGift cards: eGift cards may take a few minutes to appear in your Wallet. If you don’t see the eGift card you just purchased in your Wallet, try refreshing it after a few minutes. If it still hasn't appeared, check your Order History under Account to see if your order is pending. You'll also receive an email confirming your order or explaining why it may not be available for use.

Ship to Home

What is Ship to Home?

This option allows participants to choose from 250+ brands of physical gift cards that are eligible to ship directly to their homes. While some cards can only be ordered for delivery to the organization coordinator, Ship to Home cards can be ordered and paid for online, and shipped directly to the address provided for added convenience.

Please note that this option is only available if you have an online account and your organization allows online payments directly to RaiseRight with a bank account or credit card.

What brands are eligible?

Currently, 250+ popular brands are eligible to ship to homes. We’ll continue working with our brand partners to add more to the list.

When searching a category, you can filter by product type and choose “Ship to Home Eligible.” Or, when viewing a brand’s gift card page, look for “Ship to Home Eligible” in the description.

What is the shipping cost?

All Ship to Home orders require a shipping and handling fee, which varies depending on the number of gift cards you order and the shipping method you choose.

For gift cards shipped via U.S. Postal Service Mail, the fee is $0.50 postage per order, and $0.50 per card for a total of $1.00 minimum, up to $8.50 per order.

For gift cards shipped via UPS, the fee is $11.00 or $16.00 based on the method selected, plus $0.50 handling fee per card for a total of $11.50 minimum, up to $24.00 per order. You’ll see the total amount during the checkout process. 

How do I track my shipment?

If you choose U.S. Postal Service as your shipping option, no tracking information will be provided. If you choose UPS as your shipping option, you will receive tracking information at the time of your order. 

Is the earning percentage different if I ship gift cards to my home?

No. Earnings remain the same regardless of the shipping method.

How many gift cards can I add to an order?

You can add up to 16 gift cards per order. If you need more gift cards, you can place additional orders.

Can I include eGift cards and gift cards eligible for ship to home in the same order?

Yes. Your order can include a mix of different product types and delivery types. You'll receive separate notifications when your eGift cards are ready and your gift cards have been shipped.

What if my order includes a mix of gift cards that are eligible for ship to home and gift cards that ship to my organization?

Each gift card will be shipped to the corresponding location, as shown on your order confirmation. Gift cards that are shipped to your organization will be distributed according to your coordinator’s schedule. You'll only pay one transaction fee.

How are orders shipped? How long does it take?

Orders are fulfilled Monday through Friday and delivery times vary based on the method selected.  

U.S. Postal Service Mail and UPS Ground orders received by noon ET will ship out the next business day. For UPS overnight orders, orders by noon ET will ship the same business day. 

Delivery times apply when your order leaves our fulfillment center:   

  • U.S. Postal Service: Standard delivery times vary based on location and time of year 
  • UPS Ground: Typically 1-5 days based on location and time of year 
  • UPS Next Day Air: Next business day 

Note: If you order more than $500 in gift cards, you’ll be required to upgrade to one of the UPS delivery options. 

What should I do if my gift cards don’t arrive?

Please contact our Customer Support team and they'll be happy to help. If you ordered your gift cards to ship via U.S. Postal Service, delivery times are not guaranteed and can vary depending on the time of year. Please wait at least 14 business days before replacing or refunding any missing cards.

I don’t see the option for Ship to Home for my address. Why?

There are two possible reasons. First, ensure you have the latest version of the RaiseRight app installed on your phone. You can check your app store to see if an update is available.

Second, if your organization doesn’t allow you to use online payments (paying RaiseRight directly for your orders via bank account or credit card), you won’t see this as an option for your program. Talk to your coordinator to see if this is an option for your organization.

Can I cancel or refund my order?

No. Orders for eGift cards, money added to reloadable gift cards, and gift cards shipped directly to a participant (‘Ship to Home’ orders) are final and not returnable. If you ordered a card by mistake, you can contact your coordinator to see if there is an opportunity to sell that gift card through your fundraising program.

Can I ship gift cards to an address outside of the U.S.?

No. Shipping is available in the U.S. only, including Hawaii and Alaska.

Program Management

What elements of my fundraising program can I customize?

RaiseRight fundraising programs offer ample flexibility. Coordinators can independently manage earnings allocation, distribution percentages per participant, and ordering options. 

Coordinators can choose whether physical cards are shipped directly to program participants or combined into a single bulk order. Coordinators are responsible for distributing bulk orders.

Can I turn off the ability for participants to choose “Pay Coordinator Directly”?

Yes. To turn "Pay Coordinator Directly" off for your program participants, log in to your Coordinator Dashboard, select Organization Settings, and turn the "Pay Coordinator" toggle OFF. Disabling this feature removes this payment option for participants and limits their direct payment options to ACH (linked bank account) or credit card. To learn more, visit Organization Settings FAQs.

We recommend that you inform your participants about their options to pay directly online with their bank account or credit card, and the benefit of using these payment options to receive eGift cards immediately vs. waiting for you to collect and approve their payment. 

Can we limit our program to eGift cards only?

You can turn off the option for participants to select "Ship to Coordinator" at checkout, limiting their ordering options to eGift cards, adding money to existing reloadable gift cards, or physical cards eligible for Ship to Home.  

To learn more, visit Organization Settings FAQs.

Why doesn't RaiseRight carry my preferred brand?

We continually communicate with national and regional brands to encourage them to partner with RaiseRight. Some brands are unavailable due to gift card logistics or conflicts with other community-based initiatives they are running. Coordinators can always encourage participants to buy universal prepaid gift cards, such as Visa or American Express, for brands we don't offer, so they can still earn with brands that don’t participate in RaiseRight.

Can we add local brands to our program? How?

As a coordinator, you can determine if there are local brands or retailers you’d like to work with to include in your program.

To invite them, you can use this example letter template to explain how RaiseRight works and how they can get involved. 

Once you've coordinated with the local retailer and determined the earnings % they're willing to offer, you can set these up for participants to see when they shop online.

Note: Local retailers you add will only show up for your organization, along with all other brands we offer.  

To add a local retailer, go to your Coordinator Dashboard > Local Suppliers, then select New Supplier to enter their information. Next, add their gift card product information under Local Products, including the name and dollar amounts available to shop. 

Can we place special orders for gift cards if the amount we want is not offered online?

A special order may be possible depending on the retail brand and amount you're looking for. Visit our Special Orders page to learn more.

Please note that special orders may not be available during December due to high order volume during the holiday season. Email [email protected] to check availability.

Can nonprofit organizations share a portion of earnings with participants?

Yes, a unique advantage of gift card fundraising is the ability to share a portion of the money raised with participants. On behalf of our nonprofit organizations, we enlisted the help of one of the nation’s largest and most respected accounting and tax firms to ask the Internal Revenue Service for guidance. The result of those efforts is what is known as a private letter ruling, issued in July 2009. In 2014, our tax advisors reviewed all the information published by the IRS since the 2009 ruling, and again confirmed our understanding.   

Sharing a portion of the money raised is accomplished through the definition of the money raised as a rebate, and defining which portion of that rebate belongs to the participant (not the organization). Once you've defined a portion of the rebate as belonging to the participant, they can choose to either assign that portion to fees that they owe to their organization (i.e., tuition, band camp fees, ice time, etc.), or they can choose to donate their portion to the organization, considered to be a legitimate charitable contribution. Both strategies are proven to help coordinators maximize participation and fundraising. See the sample agreement to use when sharing rebates with your participants.

Are there tax implications for nonprofit organizations or participants when participating in RaiseRight?

On behalf of our nonprofit organizations, we enlisted the help of one of the nation’s largest and most respected accounting and tax firms to ask the Internal Revenue Service for guidance. The result of those efforts is what is known as a private letter ruling, issued in July 2009. In 2014, our tax advisors reviewed all the information published by the IRS since the 2009 ruling, and again confirmed our understanding. If properly managed, RaiseRight programs and gift card fundraising do not violate any of IRS tax codes for nonprofit organizations, nor does it expose your participants to additional income tax exposure.  

Visit our Tax Topics FAQs for a copy of the Private Letter Ruling and more information.  

As a private school coordinator exploring School Choice and ESA, can I integrate RaiseRight with School Choice or ESA benefits?

Certainly! We encourage you to leverage School Choice benefits available in your state and integrate RaiseRight for additional support. While many School Choice programs primarily cover tuition, RaiseRight can mitigate any remaining out-of-pocket expenses. Check out our School Choice resource hub to learn more.

We have a new coordinator managing our program. How do we update this in our account?

You can change coordinators within your organization’s RaiseRight account if you have access to the existing coordinator account and the successor has an existing online account created with your organization. If you have an organization PIN, make sure to pass it on to the new coordinator. 

Follow these steps:  

  1. Sign into the coordinator account and update your organization’s Profile under Account Settings. This is the name displayed to your organization's participants on their Dashboard. 
  2. Navigate to Coordinator Functions > Coordinator Roles on your Dashboard. Click Change Coordinator to select the new account you would like to assign with coordinator functions.  

When you log out, you can start using the new coordinator account moving forward.  

If you don’t have access to the current coordinator account, please send a coordinator change request on your organization’s letterhead to [email protected]. Be sure to include all contact information for the new coordinator.

Our organization is in Ohio. Why are the earnings different than other states?

Participating organizations located in Ohio have different rebates than are available in other states due to the Ohio Commercial Activity Tax. This is a 0.26% tax of gross receipts (total sales), and it applies to all business transactions in the state of Ohio, including your gift card purchases from us. 

Because of the Ohio Commercial Activity Tax, we have reduced rebates for our Ohio organizations by the amount needed to cover the estimated cost of the tax. This reduction is 0.26% of the face value of each gift card, eGift card, or reloadable card. For example, the earnings on a card that is normally 10% will be 9.74% for Ohio organizations. The actual earnings available for Ohio users are reflected on RaiseRight.com if you're logged in to an account linked to an organization located in Ohio, and all reporting and packing slips will reflect the actual rebates earned.  

If you have further questions about this, please feel free to contact our RaiseRight Customer Support Team. 

How do we turn off our organization’s fundraising program?

Please contact RaiseRight Customer Support, and we’ll be happy to help you ensure that all your accounts are closed and all earnings have been distributed.
