One platform for your Australian fundraiser

Bring your auction, raffle, event tickets and donations together.

Give supporters one place to get involved, and your team one campaign to manage. Built for charity galas, school fundraisers, sporting clubs and online appeals, with an Australian team ready to help.

HOW IT WORKS

Your fundraiser, joined up

A ticket purchase can be the start of a supporter’s involvement, not the end. With ticketing and fundraising connected, registered guests can return to the same campaign to bid, buy raffle tickets and donate.

Step 1: Set up your campaign

Add your branding and items, and connect your Stripe account to take online payments. Our Australian team can help you plan the setup for your event or online campaign.

Step 2: Engage Your Supporters

Share your campaign link or QR code. Supporters can bid, donate and buy from any device, and you can open your auction before event day for supporters who cannot attend.

Step 3: Collect Your Funds

Online payments go through your own Stripe account. Processing fees apply, and Stripe pays your linked bank account according to its payout schedule.
