New and Upcoming GalaBid Features You Should Know About (January 2026)

New Features. Smarter Fundraising. Bigger Impact.

Since 2011, GalaBid has continued to evolve alongside the needs of fundraisers. Every update is focused on making campaigns easier to manage, more engaging for supporters, and more effective at raising funds.

Below is an overview of our latest released features, along with a look at what’s coming next.

✨ What’s New in GalaBid

Bulk Invite

Bulk Invite makes it easier to reach large audiences quickly. Fundraisers can upload guest lists and send invitations in just a few clicks, reducing manual work and saving time when managing larger events.

Best suited for:
Large events, corporate fundraisers, and campaigns with extensive guest lists.

Setup Wizard

The new Setup Wizard provides guided, step-by-step assistance when creating a fundraiser. It simplifies the setup process, helping organisers move from idea to launch with greater clarity and fewer setup errors.

Designed to:
Reduce setup time and improve confidence, especially for first-time users.

AI Image Generator

The AI Image Generator allows fundraisers to create campaign visuals using simple text prompts. Images can be tailored to suit different event types, themes, or audiences without needing design software.

Useful for:
Quick visual creation when time or design resources are limited.

Buy Now on Auction Items

Buy Now introduces fixed-price purchasing for selected silent auction items. Supporters can choose to purchase immediately rather than bid, offering greater flexibility and potentially increasing item conversion.

Ideal for:
High-demand items or experiences where speed and certainty matter.

Coming Soon

Silent Auction – Max Bidding

Max Bidding will allow bidders to set a maximum amount, with bids automatically increasing in increments until that limit is reached. This helps bidders stay competitive without needing to monitor auctions constantly.

Raffle – Bulk Draw

Bulk Draw will enable organisers to draw multiple raffle prizes efficiently in one action, streamlining the process for larger raffles with several winners.

Built with Fundraisers in Mind

Every feature released on GalaBid is shaped by real feedback from fundraisers using the platform. These updates are designed to reduce administrative effort and give organisers more time to focus on their cause.

More improvements are already in development, with additional updates rolling out soon.
