Set up a donation item with suggested amounts. Run as a standalone fundraiser or alongside an auction. Add a prompt for event ticket or raffle purchasers. Prompt unsuccessful bidders to donate. Run a paddle raise or a fund-a-need.
Display your goal, a thermometer tracking progress, and donor recognition all on the big screen at your event.
Donors post a message of support on your campaign to inspire others to help your cause.
Whether it's Giving Tuesday, year end or an annual gala, GalaBid works with Google and Apple pay so donors have a quick way to pay.
Allocate paddle numbers at check-in or before your event. Then enter the numbers as the auctioneer calls them out. All donations are added to invoices for quick and easy checkout.
A donation with nothing received in return is fully deductible, unlike an auction item or event ticket where only the amount above fair market value qualifies. Invoices and reports give you and your donors the records you need.
Where a board member offers to match gifts up to a figure, the live tally on screen makes the match visible and urgent.
Gift-level exports give your finance team the underlying data for fundraising reporting.
"This is our second year using Galabid for our biggest event of the year. Their customer svc is amazing; they are ALWAYS there to help when needed (even when I had a question at the end of our event at 9pm!) I also conducted a comparison between Galabid and other top raffle sites - Galabid was at the top. You won't be disappointed."
“This was my first experience running online and this was such a great experience. The help chat was so helpful with any questions that I had. Will definitely be doing this again next year”
“It's the first time we used GalaBid but we'll certainly use them again - it was brilliant. Extremely easy to upload items to the online raffle that we created. Support online chat function was excellent - got immediate answers to anything we were confused about. Added donation function as an additional item on our raffle - it was so easy and so amazing and we were thrilled with the whole thing!”
“Our Pride 2024 Event fundraising was a success in part due to the Galabid Auction/Raffle/Donation page we were able to create. It was simple to do, and easy for the participants to view and get their bids in. The pages of auction items looked great! Very smooth process and also the funds were deposited quickly to our account. Thanks!
While the supporter already has their card out. Prompting at checkout, after they have purchased a ticket or won an item, converts far better than a separate ask later.
