Razoo is Rad.
After sitting down with Justin and hearing first hand what they are up to, I’m even more excited about the vision and simplicity of Razoo.
For many of you, this could be a game changer. The Ragamuffin community is a bunch of people who aren’t afraid to get after it- to put feet to the gospel and do some good. Adoption, missions, clean water, sex trafficking, poverty- you guys are about action.
And I love that.
That’s why I know you’ll love what Razoo is doing.
The two things I loved most about this idea are:
1. It’s simple.
A team captain creates the team on Razoo, then invites the team members to join the team by creating their own personalized fundraising pages. The team stays connected through the whole process of fundraising. The best news for the churches and non-profits: eliminating paperwork. Razoo handles it all.
2. It’s spreadable via social media.
Fundraising used to involve letters, stamps, checks- um, it’s 2011. That’s just not the way we communicate any more. Razoo enables team members to create customized fundraising pages with photos or videos. Every Razoo page is built to share on Facebook, Twitter and email, making it easier to connect with your people where they actually are.
Man, I love technology. But you already knew that.
Thanks Justin and Razoo for making it easier for Ragamuffins to get off their….
RAIN IT DOWN

There are so many 501C3 organizations that are tackling sex trafficking, poverty, clean water, feeding the hungry and, and I’m sure if we kept looking we’d find some more. Now, I want you to understand something. I’m ALL FOR THESE ORGANIZATIONS DOING WHAT THEY ARE DOING!!!! This is the Gospel in action.
I do on the the other think the we need to be about exposing the real issue at hand. The problem in the world is not lack of water that is causing people to be thirsty. It is the sinful people in power that won’t give someone a drink. It’s not that there is not enough food for people to eat is the sinful leadership that won’t feed the hungry family.
The root problem is sin. And if we only treat the surface issues, rather than curing the root of the problem we are working in vain. Our effects will not be lasting.
I’d love to get your thoughts Los…
I have question for Justin. I work with a 501c3 faith based organization and we already allow our donors to give on paypal. If we are interested in using razoo, how hard is the change? Or what do we have to change over? And what is the difference between them in charges?
Kim,
Thanks for your question! First of all, you don’t need to get rid of your PayPal account. You can just get started on Razoo today. That’s one of the great things about Razoo – we have no set-up fees and it’s easy for anyone to get going on Razoo.
As far as fees go, PayPal charges nonprofits 2.2% + $0.30/transaction. Razoo charges a flat 2.9% processing fee.
The biggest difference between Razoo and PayPal is that Razoo offers much more than donation processing. With Razoo, you are opening your nonprofit up to a world of great fundraising features: customized fundraising pages, team pages, project pages, and your nonprofit page.
We pull our nonprofits from the IRS database, so there’s a good chance your nonprofit is already in our system. To edit your nonprofit page (and view donation and disbursement reports), you’ll simply need to create an account on Razoo and ‘Claim Admin Access’ (http://www.razoo.com/p/claim-org).
Hope that helps!
Justin
