Event.Gives' silent auction feature was a game-changer for our gala. It allowed us to create an engaging and interactive silent auction experience for our guests, and resulted in a significant increase in funds raised. The ability to view auction items, place bids, and receive real-time outbid notifications kept our attendees actively engaged - the fact that they could do it all right there from their phones without even putting down their drinks, motivated them to bid more and added an element of excitement and competition. Our silent auction did FAR better this year than previous years and we will be sticking with this software from now on.

Event.Gives truly stands out as an all-encompassing platform that brings all the essential event management features together in one place. From registration and ticketing, to auctions, donations, and more, Event.Gives covered every aspect of our event needs. This comprehensive approach saved us time and effort by eliminating the need for multiple software tools or integrations.

We loved that there was no cost associated with setting up an event on the platform. We were able to go on and create a manager account, have a training call with their customer service team to learn the software and all the features, and create our entire event site without spending a single cent! There was zero cost until we started processing credit cards, and the pricing works for any budget, as it is a percentage of each credit card transaction. You can choose in your settings whether you want the fees deducted from the donation amount or whether you want the donor to be charged for it. We found that our donors didn’t bat an eye at seeing a credit card fee when they went to check out, and passing on the fees helped us to maximize on the amount we raised.
