Has anyone heard of fundable.com?

It is an online fundraising place. You pledge money, but the money isn't actually taken from you until the goal is met. The person who starts the fundraiser, sets a goal for the money amount. If they don't reach that goal, no money gets taken from anyone.
Has anyone heard of this site?
I am interested in it. I want to use it in conjunction with my fundraising biz. It would make it easier to accept raffle ticket payments online. I just don't know if you get a list of people who donate through the site or not. I have read through the faq section. It doesn't say anything about it. I guess all I can do is start one up and see what happens.
Does anyone have any experience with this site?
If not, do you know of another site where you can do online fundraising?

I used fundable once. I set up a fund for a hospital trip I had to make for my son, and some of the mylotters I knew pledged for us. I wound up putting some money in myself at the end to reach my goal, but I did get the money through fundable as promised... except that there was one person who had a bit of a payment glitch and wasn't able to pledge. I'm not sure if that was fundable's fault or paypal's though.
I don't know of any other site like it offhand.

So it would work for that! That's great info. I really like the way the site is set up. Only I have no idea what to set the goal at if I'm gonna raffle off vacations. Know what I mean? They wont stop it if it goes over, but I can end it early. Hmmmm.....

I haven't heard that one and know no other one. Yes, it's nice to use it one time.
Thanks for this informational discussion!

I had set-up a fundraiser with this site because I really liked they way the program worked. However, nothing came of my fundraiser because I was unable to meet my goal. I really want to start another one with maybe a smaller goal and once I meet that do another one.
Let me know if it works out for you! Good Luck!
