What iRaiser does

iRaiser is a privately held SaaS vendor founded in 2012 in France that provides online fundraising software to nonprofit organizations. The platform spans donation forms, peer-to-peer fundraising, crowdfunding, event fundraising, ticketing, and a CRM module, supported by the iRaiser Payment System which routes donations across 17+ payment providers and 135+ currencies. Native (non-redirect) donation forms are integrated directly into charity websites and customized via the Flex Editor drag-and-drop tool, while APIs enable real-time sync with external CRMs and analytics tools.

The company serves 900+ charities across 19 European countries and has facilitated over €2.5 billion in donations since inception. Customer base spans humanitarian NGOs (UNICEF, UNHCR, Save the Children, WWF, Greenpeace, Restos du Coeur), healthcare charities (Diabetes UK, King's College Hospital, Sue Ryder, Young Lives vs Cancer), cultural institutions (Louvre, Château de Versailles, Philharmonie de Paris), and educational institutions (HEC Paris, Sciences Po, Bocconi, University of Padova). Revenue is generated through subscription-based platform fees plus transaction-based payment processing fees; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with annual billing and enterprise sales motions.

Headquartered in Saint Sébastien Sur Loire (France) with offices in Arnhem (Netherlands, formerly Kentaa rebranded 2024) and Germany, iRaiser employs approximately 78 people across Europe. The company grew through two strategic acquisitions — Aidbuilder in 2018 for Nordic entry and Kentaa in 2022 for Dutch market leadership — financed in part by ~€6M of disclosed funding from Generis Capital Partners, Impact Partners/Partenaires, and Oltre Venture across 2018 and 2022 rounds. The platform is GDPR- and WCAG 2.1-compliant and operates with localized language support in English, French, German, Italian, Dutch, and Belgian French/Dutch variants.
