Donation Software for Nonprofits

Boost your bottom line by adding a Donate button to your auction.

Our donation software allows you to collect from guests who might not be able or interested in bidding. Or, who simply want to give even more to your cause.

Add a Donate button to your CharityAuctionsToday event page and allow guests to donate without even leaving the auction page.

Donation receipts are generated automatically, so both you and your donors are ready for tax-season.

What is Donation Software?

Donation software helps you gather donations from donors in person or online.

Donation software should give donors multiple payment options, capture their information so you can add it to your CRM, and provide them with tax-ready receipts: all automatically.

There are many donation platforms for nonprofits out there: some that put a donate form right on your organization’s website, others that host a donation page for you on their platform.

Our donation software allows you to collect donations from your guests without making them leave your auction page.

Whether you’re hosting an in-person or purely online event, putting a donation button on your event page can help you raise even more from your fundraising auction.

Donation Software That's Easy to Use and Even Easier to Love​

One-Click Donation

Our platform makes it simple for registered guests to donate with just one click.

Donation software platforms sometimes offer a lot of bells and whistles that can actually distract supporters.

Help them help you by making it simple to donate.

Progress Thermometer

Help everyone track your progress toward your fundraising goal by adding a thermometer to your event page.

Our donation software lets your supporters see exactly how they’re helping you when they donate to your cause.

Encourage your event guests to support you beyond bidding and get them fired up about how close that you all are to achieving the goal.

Donor Acknowledgement

Our donation software makes it simple to acknowledge donors for their generous contributions.

After all, every little bit helps, and a thank you can go a long way toward making a one-time donator into a long-term supporter.

Thank you

Let others show their support

Maybe you already have a different platform for donations: we’re here to tell you that more is better.

Your guests will be pleased to see more than one way to support your cause on your event page.

For example, if the sports lover just isn’t interested in your collection of spa gift baskets and massage gift certificates, they can still show that they care about your efforts.

What Does Donation Software Cost?

Donation software can range from a small percentage of your auction proceeds to thousands of dollars (some providers even say they’re “free“). Prices typically depend on your needs and the size of the event you’re holding.

Take a look at our comparison of features and pricing for 13 top auction sites.

With the lowest fees in the industry, we offer two simple plans you can see below. These allow the most users to use the most features regardless of their size or power.

Our donation software is included in our pricing plans at no extra charge, just like our auction, raffle, ticketing, donation, and attendee management features. 

Our pricing plans are free to start. In other words, we don’t make money if you don’t raise money.

What Users Are Saying About Us

Frequently Asked Questions

In your auction dashboard, under Design Event, you will find an option under Page Features called “Make a Donation Button.” Check this box in order to enable the Donate button so that visitors can donate to your cause in addition to bidding on items or buying tickets.

Other tools might serve you in between fundraising events, of course, but adding a Donate button to your page is the best way to garner more donations with less effort. Guests of your event won’t have to leave the auction page in order to give, and you won’t have to promote two different sites (your event page and your donation page) at the same time.

Donation software helps you manage donations and donor information. You can see if you’re on track for your fundraising goals and add new donors to your own contact database. In our case, you might also get a sense of how effective your auction items were: if you received more donations than bids, you might need to reevaluate your audience and what they might like to bid on next time.

No! Donation software, like all our features, is included in our pricing plans at no additional charge. All you need to decide is whether the Flex or Prepaid plan would work best for your organization and event needs.
