Charity staff and constituents may create user accounts on raisin to access and interface with the role-based fundraising tools the system provides.

All usernames and passwords entered or modified on the system must be sufficiently complex, meeting the following requirements:

  • Unique username 6-20 characters in length
  • Password 8-20 characters in length
  • At least one uppercase character
  • At least one lowercase character
  • At least one numeric character
  • At least one non-alphanumeric character (symbol)

All passwords are encrypted.
