Withdraw anytime for free
No more bank deposits! Initiate a withdrawal anytime and for free! See an at-a-glance summary of all funds remaining in your Cheddar Up account. Withdraw all at once or on a collection-by-collection basis.
Send funds where you need them
If you’re fundraising for teacher appreciation gifts or other group gifts, you can send your funds to your personal bank account or send a Gift Card Reward Link directly to the gift recipient. Recipients can then use the link and choose from hundreds of gift cards — ensuring they love their gift and saving you a trip to the store.
Fundraising Goal

Raise more with goal setting
Have a goal in mind? Set a goal for your online fundraisers for more transparency and greater giving! We’ll include a snazzy progress bar on your collection that donors can see in real time.
Donor Visibility
Donor Visibility
Show who has contributed
Consider an optional setting that will show the names of other donors who have given (not the amounts, just the names). Sometimes a little social influence is all you need to cross the goal line!
Custom Receipts
Custom Receipts
Add a customized message to your receipts
Add a custom message in the receipt. Great for sharing tax information, program details, or an extra note of gratitude.
Recurring Donations
Recurring Donations
Add recurring payments to your online fundraisers
Raise more by allowing donors to give on a recurring basis. Annual donations, quarterly donations, monthly donations…you decide. Simply set your desired giving schedules, amount, frequency, and start and end dates. Donors select their giving plan and you receive their gift on schedule.
Spend time raising money — not managing it.
We use it for events, sponsorships and annual giving…and I’m confident it will serve any future collecting we can dream up. It’s also a beautiful paying experience for our community.
