Detailed feature list
Every feature. Side by side.
A complete look at what's included in each Sunrise plan — so you can pick the one that fits with confidence.
The plans
Two plans. Both with the full toolkit.
Sunrise Standard and Premium share the same feature set. The difference is the number of fundraisers you run and the level of support that comes with it.
Standard
One eventEverything you need to plan, promote, and run a single fundraising event — plus an always-on donation page for gifts that come in afterward.
- One fundraiser per year
- One always-on donation page
- Full event-management toolkit
- Email support + group training webinars
Best value
Premium
Unlimited eventsEverything in Standard, with no cap on the number of events you run each year — plus priority support and personalized training.
- Unlimited fundraisers per year
- Carry customizations between events
- Priority phone & email support
- Personalized onboarding & pre-event review
Credit card processing on both plans clears through Deluxe, your bank's payment processor. No separate gateway to choose, no extra account to set up.
