School fundraising made simple

Your School Has a Wishlist. Let's Help Fund It

GalaBid gives school communities a fundraising platform that is simple to set up, easy to manage and designed to make fundraising less time-consuming for busy volunteers and school staff.

What Schools Use GalaBid For

gala dinner fundraising

School Fetes and Fun Runs

Open bidding before, during and after the event. Parents and supporters who cannot attend in person can still participate from wherever they are. GalaBid's QR codes make registration quick and simple, with no app download required.

memorabilias and experiences auction

Silent Auctions

Move beyond paper bid sheets and showcase donated items in a professional online catalogue. Mobile bidding helps keep supporters engaged throughout the event, while pre-event bidding allows fundraising to begin before the day arrives.

donation drive target

Donation Drives and Wish Lists

When supporters understand exactly what their contributions will fund, they are more likely to get involved. Whether you're raising money for new books, playground equipment, technology upgrades or outdoor learning spaces, GalaBid helps schools create focused fundraising campaigns with clear goals and visible progress.

raffle for fundraising

Raffles

Sell tickets online to your entire school community, not just those attending on the night. GalaBid manages ticket sales, runs the draw automatically and notifies winners when the raffle closes, helping volunteers save valuable time.

Incredibly easy to use and very user friendly, from both the front and back end. Setting it up is a breeze, getting people registered is a breeze. And their customer service is some of the best I have experienced anywhere.

fundraising flexible pricing matters

Pricing Options for Every School

Every school fundraiser is different. A community raffle has different needs from a gala dinner. A giving day requires a different approach to a sports fundraiser or a capital campaign.

That's why GalaBid offers flexible pricing options designed to support schools of all sizes, fundraising styles and budgets.

Instead of a one-size-fits-all model, schools can choose the pricing approach that best suits their campaign objectives, supporter experience and financial priorities. Whether you're focused on maximising funds raised, creating a seamless donor journey or maintaining greater budget certainty, there's an option that works for you.

Why Flexible Pricing Matters

The way a fundraising platform is priced can directly influence the success of your campaign.

Different schools face different challenges and opportunities, including:

  • Fundraising targets and budget considerations
  • Event size and expected participation
  • Donor preferences and giving behaviour
  • Administrative and reporting requirements
  • The need for predictable costs and financial planning

Having flexibility means you can choose a pricing structure that aligns with your goals rather than adapting your campaign to fit a fixed model. The result is a fundraising experience that works better for your organisers, supporters and bottom line.

Built for Every Type of School Fundraiser

Whether you're running your first online appeal, organising an annual auction, hosting a gala event or managing a major fundraising initiative, GalaBid's flexible pricing is designed to grow with your ambitions.

Our team can help you find the option that best matches your event, audience and fundraising goals, ensuring you get maximum value from the platform while keeping the focus where it belongs: raising more for your school community.
