In the January release notes, we've got several workflow improvements that enable you to quickly find and access what's important, as well as a Two-Step security enhancement. We're also sharing details for several 2026 fee updates, which include a slight increase to processing fees as well as reduced fees for wealth scans and DAFpay transactions.
What's New
Universal Searchbar
The primary platform search bar can now search your Giving Forms, Fundraiser Pages, and more. This improvement makes it easier and faster to quickly access your essential fundraising assets.
Additional List Filtering
We've added filtering to more lists, including Campaign Sites, Email Campaigns, and Giving Forms, enabling you to quickly access what's important without having to scroll through everything.
Two-Step Verification via Email
We've made it easier to Two-Step Authenticate with the introduction of an email authentication method. You can now use email or an authentication app for Two-Step Authentication.
☝️ Today, Funraise's Two-Step Authentication is an optional layer of security. We'll soon be requiring multi-factor authentication for all users. As we roll out this new requirement, you may be required to set up Two-Step Authentication before logging in.
Funraise is a PCI Level 1 certified service provider, the highest standard possible for payment processing service providers. This enhancement builds upon our commitment to the security of your data.
Wealth Screening added to Premium Plans
The ability to wealth scan supporters has been added to all premium plans. We've also decreased the cost of each successful supporter scan, from 99¢ to 49¢ (as of February 1, 2026).
We know that wealth data is incredibly impactful for your organization, so we've worked hard to decrease the costs, empowering more organizations to take advantage of running donor wealth scans in Funraise.
Auctions added to Premium Plans
We've added Auctions to all premium plans. This feature is now a standard capability in Funraise Events, and we're excited to see more missions funded with creative silent auctions.
2026 Fee Updates
Organization admins previously received an update about fee changes for this year. This update provides additional documentation of the changes. Fee updates include a slight increase to processing fees and reduced fees in other areas. These changes will take place February 1, 2026.
Item | Previous fee | New fee |
DAFpay Platform Fee | 2% | 1% |
Wealth Scan Fee | 99¢ | 49¢ |
Funraise Payments powered by Stripe Processing Fee (Card) | 2.9%+30¢ | 2.9%+60¢ |
Funraise Payments powered by Stripe Processing Fee (ACH) | 1%+30¢ | 1%+60¢ |
Why processing fees are updated
VISA and Mastercard recently increased interchange rates for the use of their networks, requiring Funraise to increase the processing fee for payments that run through Funraise Payments powered by Stripe.
To cap this increase and minimize impact to your revenue efficiency, this change is a flat 30¢ increase to payments rather than an increase to the processing fee percentage, which remains a standard 2.9% for common cards and 1% for ACH. We understand that any increase is undesirable, and we have worked on a model that helps Funraise cover some of the increased network costs while capping the increase to your organization, per transaction.
