Gala Fundraising Software

Sell out your gala — then raise more on the night

Sell tickets, tables, and sponsorship packages from a branded event site, keep table assignments straight without a spreadsheet, and add a silent auction or paddle raise to the same event.

For galas, dinners, luncheons, and seated fundraising events

A nonprofit gala event site built on CauseVox

Built for how a gala actually comes together

1

Build the event site

Your gala's first impression is a web page, months before anyone walks in.

Drag-and-drop event site with your branding, a countdown to the ticket deadline, your story and photos, and the details guests keep coming back to check. Show sponsor logos, names, and the packages still available.

2

Sell tickets, tables, and sponsorships

Every seat you sell by email is a seat someone had to chase.

Ticket tiers grouped into categories — Individual, Tables, Sponsorships — so guests find the right one in seconds. Buy a whole table in a single order. Promo codes let a sponsor register their guests at no charge. Add-a-donation at checkout catches the guests who'd have given more if you'd asked.

Keep the room organized

Table assignments are where gala admin usually collapses into a spreadsheet.

Guests register under a specific table, so attendance tracks itself. Table hosts see who's registered and how many seats remain, and you can assign general attendees to open tables. Custom fields per tier collect meal preferences and anything else you need before the night.

4

Raise more on the night

The ticket price is the floor, not the ceiling.

Run a silent auction with mobile bidding, a live auction, and a paddle raise on the same event — tied to the same guest records, so a bid, a ticket, and a gift all land under one name instead of three.

5

Reconcile without the cleanup

The morning after shouldn't cost you a week.

Automatic receipts by ticket tier. Attendee, table, and donation totals calculated in real time. Saved report templates, recurring exports, and batch deposit reconciliation. Offline gifts — the checks written at the table — logged into the same totals.

300+ tickets sold for a single event

Our CauseVox-powered event pages were a game-changer — easy for participants to use and streamlined our event management beautifully. It all worked out very well, making for a seamless and successful event!

Common questions

Can we sell both individual tickets and full tables?

Yes. Set up tiers for individual seats, full tables, sponsorship packages, and bundles, grouped into labeled categories so guests find the right one quickly. A table can be bought in a single order.

Can we manage table assignments?

Yes. Guests register under a specific table, table hosts can see who's registered and how many seats are left, and you can assign general attendees to tables with openings — so attendance tracks itself instead of living in a spreadsheet.

Can sponsors buy their packages directly on the page?

Yes. Sponsorship levels are sold as ticket tiers, so a business can purchase right on your event site instead of waiting on an invoice. Promo codes let them register their guests at no charge.

Can we run a silent auction or paddle raise with it?

Yes. Silent auctions with mobile bidding, live auctions, and paddle raises run on the same event as your ticketing, tied to the same guest records.

Can we collect meal preferences and other guest details?

Yes. Custom fields can be attached to a specific ticket tier or to the whole order, so you can ask whatever you need at registration.

How do we reconcile everything afterward?

Attendee, table, and donation totals calculate automatically in real time. Save report templates, automate recurring exports, reconcile against batch deposits, and log offline gifts into the same totals.

What does it cost?

See pricing for our plans — you can start free with no credit card. For a gala with tables, sponsorships, and an auction, it's usually worth a quick call so we can point you at the right plan.
