How does event software help you raise more at your nonprofit events?
Fundraising events are powerful opportunities to build community, strengthen relationships, and generate meaningful revenue for your organization. But managing all the moving parts can be overwhelming.
This is where event software can make a big difference.
From simplifying logistics, to improving the guest experience, our tools help nonprofits run more successful events and raise more for their cause.
Below are a few of the ways EventSnap helps nonprofits raise more at their events.
1. Make a Great First Impression with a Professional Event Page
Your guest experience begins the moment someone lands on your event page. EventSnap helps you create a polished, branded landing page where visitors can learn about your event, register, and share it with others.
A well-designed page builds credibility and makes it easy for guests to take action. Clear calls to register or donate lead to more early sign-ups, stronger attendance, and increased momentum before the event even begins.

2. Personalize the Guest Experience
A personalized experience makes attendees feel more connected to your event and your mission. With EventSnap, you can customize registration forms to gather important details like meal preferences, t-shirt sizes, accessibility needs, or dietary restrictions.
This attention to personal preferences creates stronger emotional connections and builds loyalty. Research shows that offering personalized experiences boosts engagement. For example, organizations that use personalized messaging see a 27 percent higher donor retention rate compared to those sending generic appeals.
3. Boost Revenue with Merchandise and Add-Ons
EventSnap includes a shopping cart experience that allows you to sell more than just tickets. We offer the flexibility to sell merchandise like t-shirts or mugs, upgrades like VIP seating or early entry, or fun add-ons like raffle tickets and activity passes.
You can add images and descriptions and encourage your supporters to buy while they are in the giving mood. One seamless checkout simplifies everything, making it easy for users and more lucrative for your nonprofit.
4. Give Supporters a Chance to Donate at Checkout
Asking guests to give while they are already engaged increases the likelihood of receiving a donation. That’s why EventSnap includes an optional donation feature directly in the checkout process. As guests check out from their cart, they can easily add a donation without filling out an extra form or navigating to another page. Making it simple to give at the right moment helps your organization raise more while keeping the experience easy and convenient for your supporters.
5. Add an Auction
A well-planned auction can add meaningful revenue to your event. EventSnap offers an integration with AuctionSnap at a bundled discount, making it easy to include an auction. With mobile bidding, guests can participate from their phones, which increases engagement and accessibility. At the end of the night, they can check out right from their devices, avoiding long lines and paper bid sheets.
