How can you opt-in and start using iRaiser?
Follow our Onboarding Process
Why should a NS onboard right now and not only if a crisis starts
- If a NS is in a crisis they should be ready to start collecting donations instantly
- In a crisis a NS has other priorities as setting up a new donation platform
- If iRaiser is already set up the start of an emergency campaign can be done really fast and as mentioned the first donations can be collected a few hours after the crisis started.
