features for in-person non for profit fundraising events

FUNDRAISING EVENT SOFTWARE FOR UK CHARITIES

Everything you need for your charity dinner, gala or golf day, anywhere in the UK

Tickets and tables, silent and live auction, raffle, pledge moment, big-screen leaderboards, SMS outbid alerts and a checkout console that elminates queues. One platform, one invoice per guest, funds paid to your own account.
We know Charity galas in Britain.  Tables sold to sponsors, a silent auction open on phones at the event and beyond, a live auction and pledge moment after the speeches, a raffle drawn before the band, and 300 people who need to settle up before carridges. GalaBid was built around that event. Everything your committee needs is within GalaBid, and your funds never pass through our platform.

Leaderboards that drive competion between event guests

Top bidders, top tables, pledge totals and live pop-ups on the venue screens. Sponsor logos in rotation.

The competition between tables does the fundraising for you.

Personal shopper for guests without a phone

Volunteer accounts let your team place bids, buy raffle tickets or record pledges on behalf of a guest who prefers to hand over a card and enjoy the evening.

No login required for the guest. Your team does it for them, and it lands on the right account.

SMS outbid alerts

Guests do not check email at a dinner. They do check a text saying they have been outbid on the Lake District weekend.

With SMS notifications, participants can receive:

  • Outbid alerts
  • Auction updates
  • Event messages

Alerts, auction updates and event messages by SMS keep bidding moving through the meal.

Checkout console that clears the room

Results are instant. Staff search by name, item or paddle number, charge stored cards in one action or send payment links.

No queue for a PDQ machine at midnight.

Staff search by guest name, item name, or paddle number.

WE NEVER HOLD YOUR FUNDS

Pledge moment tools

Paddle numbers issued at check-in, pledges entered at speed, everything on one invoice.

Ask our UK team about different ways to run an effective pledge moment at your event.
