ReRaiseit.com VS. Facebook Marketplace

So Why Don't we Just list items on Facebook and donate the money?

Great Question. 

Facebook Marketplace is great for getting rid of "your" stuff. But when you try to use it for fundraising, things get messy fast:

• People ask: “Where do I pay?” “Who gets the money?”
• Payments happen off-platform (cash/e-transfer/awkward handoffs)
• No fundraiser goal tracker
• No centralized reporting for PACs/teams
• Hard to prove what was raised
• Easy for supporters to get confused and stop participating
• 47 - "Is it Still Availble" requests and no one responds back  
• Everyone offers 50% of the price posted and some want free delivery 40 minutes away 

The Reraiseit difference - Reraiseit is built like Marketplace — but designed for fundraising.

✅ One shared fundraiser page
Everyone lists under one fundraiser, so it feels like a community campaign—not random individual sales.

✅ Online payments that support the fundraiser
Buyers pay through the fundraiser experience, reducing “where do I send money?” confusion.

✅ Built-in tracking & transparency
See total raised, sales activity, and momentum in one place—perfect for PACs, teams, and nonprofits.

✅ More listings → more momentum
When a fundraiser launches with 25–50 items, it builds trust and energy fast. Marketplace can’t create that shared momentum.

✅ Less admin work for volunteers
No spreadsheets. No chasing. No reconciling dozens of messages and payments.

✅ A fundraiser people actually understand
It’s simple: List → Sell → Support the cause.

Why this matters for PACs and school groups.

PAC parents don’t need another fundraiser. They need fewer fundraisers that actually work.

Reraiseit helps PACs:

• Raise money without inventory
• Avoid door-to-door selling
• Reduce volunteer burnout
• Turn household “clutter” into real fundraising dollars
