RallyUp operates as a comprehensive fundraising SaaS platform based in Arizona, serving individuals, nonprofits, and enterprise clients since its public launch. The platform is trusted by over 55,000 nonprofits and has helped organizations raise over $1 billion, focusing on combining ease of use with impressive donor experiences.
RallyUp was founded by Steve Bernat in 2013 after identifying a significant gap in online fundraising solutions for nonprofits. After positive feedback on its early versions, RallyUp officially launched and rapidly expanded its capabilities, office culture, and employee base. They later transitioned to a remote-first workforce, supporting global clients with 24/7 customer service.
RallyUp has raised notable funding rounds, receiving about $1.35M in a 2017 round and an additional $1.6M later as it grew and expanded development efforts. The company has less than $5 million in annual revenue and maintains a lean employee count, estimated at around 10–59 staff depending on the source.
RallyUp offers a vast array of fundraising options, including:
Raffles, Auctions (Online, Silent, and Live), Sweepstakes
Ticketing & Registration with QR code check-ins
Crowdfunding, Peer-to-Peer Fundraising, A-Thons, Storefront (merchandise/sponsorship sales)
Recent innovations include the launch of RallyUp+ (premium solution), Experience Test Mode for campaign preparation/testing, private labeling, and expanded livestreaming capabilities for virtual or hybrid events.
RallyUp prioritizes a culture of support, collaboration, and creativity, highlighted by events like team retreats and virtual activities.
