How it works

Be up and running in a single afternoon.

Even seasoned fundraisers don't have time to wrestle with new software. Upload your data, add a few details, and start taking donations — all in less than a day.

The process

Get started in 3 simple steps — no coding, no contracts to decipher.

01
~5 minutes

Choose your fundraiser type

Pick the format that fits — gala, auction, annual campaign, or something in between. We'll tailor the setup flow to match.

  • Guided setup with smart defaults
  • Pre-built templates for common event types
  • Reassign or reshape anytime — nothing is locked in
02
15 – 20 minutes

Add your content

Upload photos, write descriptions, set prices. Our editor works the way a word processor does — no manual required.

  • Drag-and-drop media uploads
  • Bulk import items, donors, and tickets from CSV
  • Edit freely, even after your fundraiser goes live
03
Launch day & onward

Launch and manage

Hit "Launch" and your fundraiser is live! Track progress, respond to questions, and watch donations come in—all from one dashboard.

  • Real-time reporting and activity feed
  • Automated receipts, confirmations, and reminders
  • Secure bank processing from the first gift to the last

Automated features handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on your mission.
