What 15 points is worth
On a $10,000 raise, a program that keeps 80% gets $8,000. With Snack's 5% it gets $9,500 before card fees. If that came in as 100 gifts of $100 and no supporter covered the card fee, the team gets about $9,180.
That gap pays for the help Snap! Raise gives: a page built for you, an expert on the campaign, prizes for athletes and, for programs that qualify, a guarantee. If your staff doesn't have time to run a campaign, that help can be worth more than the difference.
What Snap! Raise does that Snack doesn't
If any of these is what your program needs, Snap! Raise is the better fit.

- Sponsors shown on the campaign page.
