Funraise 中断历史

On Friday, August 7, 2026, beginning around 8:00 AM MDT, some customers experienced slow or inconsistent Platform performance. This affected workflows such as loading lists, adding supporters, imports, and entering offline transactions. Some actions may have timed out in the browser even though the server-side request later completed, which may have caused duplicate records when the action was retried. PayPal checkout attempts may also have seen intermittent failures during this period. Our investigation identified abusive automated traffic targeting a public PayPal checkout endpoint. This traffic caused upstream PayPal rate limiting and increased load on Platform services, contributing to elevated latency and intermittent errors. We applied additional traffic filtering and rate controls, and the service is recovering. We are continuing to monitor Platform latency, error rates, and payment behavior. We are also preparing an application-level protection update to further reduce the likelihood of similar PayPal order-creation traffic affecting Platform availability.

This incident has been resolved.

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.

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're investigating an issue that is causing the Facebook integration to be disconnected.

We are continuing to investigate this issue and if it is related to the the global Meta / Facebook outage.

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

We are continuing to monitor for any further issues.

Since 2023-07-18 3:01 ET, there was an issue detected with an upstream payments processor causing intermittent donation failures for a subset of customers for a subset of donations. The upstream provider resolved the issue as of 20:00 ET.

We've identified an issue with an upstream payments provider (Legacy Delegate Mode PayPal) which is causing intermittent failures for a small number of customers and a subset of PayPal donations. We are currently monitoring the upstream provider for restoration of service.

We are continuing to monitor this issue.

We are continuing to monitor this issue with our upstream payments provider. We're seeing intermittent failures with other payment methods.

We're currently investigating reports of some platform accounts not showing fully up-to-date donation data. Account data is still being stored and ingested and donations are processing correctly but just are not showing up correctly in lists at the moment. We're working on resolving this issue and expect no data loss.

A fix has been implemented and is being rolled out across Funraise accounts.

This incident has been resolved.

A handful (~10) of donations using our new PayPal integration failed to process between 4:15am to 6:30am Pacific Standard Time due to a power loss at an Amazon data center. Amazon resolved the situation and donations are processing normally through that integration since 6:30am PST.

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.

We're currently investigating reports of some platform accounts showing no data in certain sections. Account data is still being stored and ingested and donations are processing correctly but just are not showing up correctly in lists at the moment. We're working on resolving this issue and expect no data loss.

We are continuing to investigate this issue.

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.

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!

We are currently investigating email sending delays

This incident has been resolved.

Delay in our search services is preventing incoming donations and manually entered data to be visible in the Funraise platform. Payment processing and integration services are still operational at this time. While data may not be readily visible for viewing, there should be no loss of data.

A fix has been implemented and we are monitoring the results.

We are continuing to monitor for any further issues.
