It is an external platform that can help find members and volunteers. It works with existing databases. data is all in one place and you can see who is doing what. Fundraisers can be set up in different currencies to accept all transactions. Pricing is a 5% transaction plus a $.5 per item fee. There is a free version. If you pay you get many more features. It may be worth it for larger clubs.
