   Am Freitag, den 7. August 2026, beginnend um 8:00 Uhr MDT, erlebten einige Kunden eine langsame oder inkonsistente Plattformleistung. Dies wirkte sich auf Workflows wie das Laden von Listen, das Hinzufügen von Unterstützern, Importe und die Eingabe von Offline-Transaktionen aus. Einige Aktionen sind möglicherweise im Browser abgelaufen, obwohl die serverseitige Anforderung später abgeschlossen wurde, was möglicherweise zu doppelten Datensätzen beim erneuten Versuch geführt hat. PayPal Checkout-Versuche können auch intermittierende Ausfälle in diesem Zeitraum gesehen haben. Unsere Untersuchung identifizierte missbräuchlichen automatisierten Datenverkehr, der auf einen öffentlichen PayPal-Checkout-Endpunkt abzielte. Dieser Traffic führte zu einer Begrenzung der Upstream-Paypal-Rate und einer erhöhten Belastung der Plattformdienste, was zu erhöhten Latenzzeiten und intermittierenden Fehlern führte. Wir haben zusätzliche Traffic-Filterung und Tarifkontrollen angewendet, und der Service erholt sich. Wir überwachen weiterhin die Latenz der Plattform, Fehlerquoten und das Zahlungsverhalten. Wir bereiten auch ein Sicherheitsupdate auf Anwendungsebene vor, um die Wahrscheinlichkeit eines ähnlichen PayPal-Auftragserstellungsverkehrs, der die Plattformverfügbarkeit beeinträchtigt, weiter zu verringern.

   We are currently experiencing an issue with our live chat functionality due to an ongoing outage with Intercom, our third-party chat provider. Intercom has confirmed a service disruption affecting Inbox, Messenger, Fin, and related developer features in the US region. As a result, live chat and in-app messaging may be unavailable or not function as expected at this time. Please note that this issue is isolated to Intercom and does not impact the core functionality of our platform. Intercom is actively investigating and working to restore service. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates here as more information becomes available. Thank you for your patience.

   Intercom has implemented a fix for the earlier outage affecting Inbox, Messenger, Fin, and related features in the US region. Live chat and in-app messaging should now be functioning normally. We are continuing to monitor the situation to ensure stability and will provide further updates if needed. Thank you for your patience while this issue was being resolved.

   We’ve completed an initial investigation of the major AWS outage mentioned in the retroactive post (https://status.funraise.org/incidents/h5bvwz1fy8kv) and confirmed that Funraise’s core services remain operational and unaffected. However, we are seeing impact at the boundaries where third-party platforms are experiencing issues—specifically with integrations. Some data syncs to external systems are failing, most notably Salesforce, which is currently reporting an ongoing outage. We are actively monitoring these dependencies and will provide updates as third-party services recover.

2. 21. Oktober 2025 um 17:55 UTCresolved

   The issues impacting Funraise services due to the AWS outage have been fully resolved. All systems are now operating normally. Thank you for your patience while we monitored and restored stability.

   We’re aware of an ongoing AWS incident in the US-EAST-1 region that may impact some cloud services. We’re investigating potential effects on Funraise and will update this page as we learn more. What’s happening Amazon Web Services (AWS) is experiencing increased error rates and latency across multiple services in the US-EAST-1 region. AWS has reported connectivity issues and intermittent errors beginning around 12:11 AM PDT and continuing through the morning, with signs of gradual recovery. Impact to Funraise We have not yet confirmed a direct impact to core Funraise applications. Out of an abundance of caution, we are actively monitoring for customer-visible symptoms, including: Elevated error rates or slow page loads in the app or public donation pages Delays in background jobs (exports, webhooks, receipts, integrations) Delayed event processing or queue backlogs What we’re doing Reviewing service health and telemetry across our infrastructure that relies on AWS. Verifying redundancy and autoscaling behavior, and watching for queue backlogs. Background (from AWS public updates) 7:29 AM PDT: AWS confirms multiple services in US-EAST-1 had connectivity issues; early signs of recovery. 7:14 AM PDT: Significant API errors/connectivity issues confirmed across multiple services in US-EAST-1. Earlier updates indicate DNS issues affecting DynamoDB and downstream services, new EC2 instance launch errors in US-EAST-1, and backlog processing for services like Lambda/EventBridge/CloudTrail, with gradual recovery actions underway. We’ll keep this post updated as we learn more. If you’re experiencing urgent issues, please contact Funraise Support with timestamps and any error messages observed.

   We are happy to report that our Facebook integration has been fully restored following the recent Facebook outage. Our team has worked diligently to resolve all issues caused by the disruption, ensuring that everything is back to normal. If your Facebook integration was disconnected during the outage, you will need to re-enable it in your account settings. Once reconnected, please contact our support team to request a re-sync of any Facebook transaction reports. This will ensure your data is accurate and up to date. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time. If you experience any further issues, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team.

   It has been reported by users and verified by our internal team that the PayPal buttons are intermittently disappearing from donation forms. Users affected by this issue are temporarily unable to make transactions through PayPal while the buttons are not visible. Preliminary investigations indicate that the root cause of this issue resides on PayPal's end. PayPal is working on tracking the resolution on their incident page: https://www.paypal-status.com/incident/production

   Funraise for the does not use log4j for any of its native application code. Funraise identified one area of log4j use in a 3rd party component that we use for search engine functionality (ElasticSearch) that is hosted separately from the Funraise Platform core infrastructure. Funraise applied the appropriate initial patches and mitigation strategies on Dec 13 and continues to monitor the situation as new recommendations and patches are released and has found no evidence of exploit or attempted exploit in our application logs. Log4j was also identified in a 3rd party component powering our BI functionality. This functionality is also hosted separately from the Funraise core infrastructure and presents lowered risk of RCE. The vendor for that component patched and updated their infrastructure on Dec 16. Funraise continues to maintain a proactive security posture and undergoes annual analysis of our codebase and infrastructure by an independent security firm.

   The Funraise platform suffered a downtime from 1:31:11am UTC - 2:05:07am UTC due to insufficient compute to spawn new application instances. Funraise has increased server capacity to mitigate this issue going forward.

   Funraise platform suffered a downtime between 11:06am-11:17am PDT. The cause was underlying infrastructure not being able to boot a new set of application servers in a timely manner. Our systems team responded quickly and restarted our application server formation which provisioned a new set of servers which started successfully.

   Payments (Next Gen) which powers our Free tier as well as some customers that are enabled for advanced fraud protection suffered an outage between 4:10 AM and 9:42 AM Pacific Time which affected an upper bound of 30 potential donors. Our engineering team is continuing to investigate and has put additional notification schemes and telemetry in place to help detect and respond to future issues if they should arise as we isolate the root cause. The vast majority of our payments traffic is serviced by our legacy payments infrastructure and was therefore unaffected. If you're on our next-generation payments infrastructure we're truly sorry for the inconvenience that this outage caused.

1. 1. Dezember 2020 um 19:11 UTCresolved

   A minor performance degradation to the platform search capability occurred between 10 AM-11 AM PST. Our engineering teams responded by scaling up the capacity of our search infrastructure. To ensure smooth donation processing for your donors, you might have experienced a minor loss of filtering capability within some filterable sections of Funraise. Rest assured there is no data loss and your donations are processing at hyper speed! Keep crushing it!
