Spark Options
FundRaiser Spark is designed to be friendly, functional and flexible from Day 1, and, therefore, includes only two options: the installation style and the Donor Portal.
- Installation Options: – FundRaiser Spark is available with a single user license. This means that Spark can be accessed by one user at a time in any installation environment. You can; however, give as many users as you like access to the software, but only one may log in at a time.
- Spark Online or Hosted: Spark Online is our online option featuring a very low start-up cost and low monthly rate. Spark Hosted gives you the freedom of owning the software and paying a lower monthly fee for us to host it for you, so that you have online access, but could easily install it locally if desired.
- Spark Installed: Spark is also available for local installation. You purchase the license and install Spark on your own server or computer and access it locally.
- The Donor Portal is available to customers who choose FundRaiser Spark Online or Hosted. The Donor Portal works seamlessly with your website and credit card processor to bring online donations into the software automatically.
