The funds are available almost immediately and you are not required to jump through hoops like Facebook fundraiser options! We have raised more money and are quicker than ever due to an easy back-end setup and attractive front-end!

We use OneCause with our largest fundraiser of the year - our Great Chefs' Dinner. We have a silent and live auction, fund a need and we do seating and manage supporters on the OneCause software. We also have used OneCause for an online auction and ticketing to a few smaller events.

We use OneCause for our annual benefit. It’s a one-stop shop for selling tickets, sponsorships, donations, as well as hosting our online silent auction. It’s been a great help because it can easily collect payment information, allows us to text message donors, and easily allow auction item donors to upload initial item info to the site. It also has several preset reports to help with pulling data when needed. It also helps us with assigning seating and with registration and check in at the event. We’re also able to creat promo codes to help with any special ticketing situations that we need to deploy.

We use OneCause as our p2p fundraising platform for our special events and initiatives. It is very user-friendly, and we have had a wonderful response from our constituents that say it is much easier to raise money than with our previous platform.

Two of our committees use OneCause for fundraising auctions -- we've used it for 13 auctions to date, including a few virtual actions during COVID. The auction software we used prior to OneCause did not offer mobile bidding, which is an expectation for auction fundraisers in our area and has been well-received by our auction attendees.

We use OneCause to manage our annual dinner and auction, which, as a small non-profit, is our largest fundraiser of the year. Bidpal through OneCause allowed us to shift our entire auction online and to a virtual format during COVID, and we're excited to try out the in-person module as well at next spring's event.

We use OneCause to manage our silent auction for a yearly event. We needed a comprehensive package that can manage everything from supporter registration/communication to secure payment/bid management to auction package/raffle administration. We also needed a robust customer support system to ensure the event always goes off smoothly. OneCause does all of this and more.

We use OneCause for our Silent Auction and Fundraising Donations for our annual Gala and events throughout the year. We also like that we can create a landing page that is customizable for our event to have a website directly to our auction and fundraising. This allows us to have a larger donor reach and also is secure for our user's information.

We use OneCause every year for our annual auction fundraiser. This software helps us to run a large auction (over 350 items) and track our attendees, donors, and bidders. Our bidders have an easy online bidding process that is enjoyable for them while also helping us to raise more money through this event. Our auction has grown in the amount raised thanks to the ease and robust features of this auction software.

OneCause is logically set up so you can login and start using it immediately. The previous program I used took 6-10 clicks to get to a report, auction, settings or anything which wasted employee time researching where to go to do anything at all within the program. This platform is so intelligently laid out I logged in and immediately built an event and auction with zero help and no corrections needed after review with my support rep that is automatically provided through the purchase of this software.

We use OneCause for some of our fundraiser, including those with ticket sales or a silent auction component. We did not have an auction software platform that we were happy with, so OneCause was an ideal solution when we starting seeking a new provider.

I currently use OneCause the fundraising and suction platform - Bidpal. It makes it so easy to reach a bigger audience for auction and donating purposes, it saved us money, and we got to keep it all year long which is allowing us to make more money and do more things with the software.

We use OneCause for our silent and live auction management. Solves the issue of our team using paper bidding format, which is huge. We want our users to be able to bid from their phones at their seats, walking to get a drink, from home, etc.

We began using OneCause for our text to donate a few years ago. Recently we found that we needed a better software program to run our fundraising events. We were seeking one that could encompass all of our needs that surrounded several types of events ie: Gala, 5k, Chili Cook off and so many more. I knew fairly quickly that OneCause was going to be a great fit just because of the level of customer service that was displayed not only right away but through the entire onboarding process and throughout the first event. If you can imagine all the features that you could possibly need to run pretty much any type of event that is exactly what this software offers. We call it the "All in One-Cause" Because between the upbeat, friendly and super helpful staff to the product itself I would highly recommend OneCause for all your fundraising needs! Features include: Day of event support, Silent auction, raffle tickets, table assignments, easy check in experience, a truly seamless process, and so much more!

We use OneCause to support the implementation and facilitation of our two annual fundraising events--our golf outing and gala. For the golf outing, OneCause helps us manage sponsorships and ticketing, as well as the sale of fixed-price packages. For our gala, we use OneCause for ticketing, sponsorships, fixed-price package sales, auctions, raffles, and more. Most recently, we have started using the new platform, which I'm very impressed with. I think the event site I can create with the new platform is more inviting and even easier to navigate than the previous product. And I love the new options, including allowing guests to check themselves in or let us know if they will pick up auction items the night of the event or at another time.

In the past, we used OneCause for our major banquets. This year, we are using them for smelling banquets, as well. It helps us organize the flow and planning for the event. The benefit is that we can collect money from non-attendees and attendees in advance. Also, we can continue to collect donations after the event.

We use this software exclusively for event management for our two recurring events per year. Our biggest need was to find a software that could manage the capacity/robustness of one of our silent auction. The silent auction is only a small component of the larger event, and we also needed a software that could replace the need for a separate event website.

One Cause is used for special events and fundraising to streamline and simplify the user experience. Previous databases were not intuitive for internal and external users, compounding staff time and frustrating others.
