Any nonprofit, charity or NGO can use online event registration software to sell tickets, accept donations and raise money for their cause.
Nonprofit organizations can set up event registration and donation processes with our online event registration software. Easily create your own event registration website where attendees, donors or volunteers can register by filling out the online registration form. Event Smart can even help you collect the registration and payment or donation information about your attendees.
Event Smart is the most affordable event registration software for nonprofits because we do not charge any commission fees for each ticket you sell. You only pay a flat fee for the features you use.
Nonprofits can sell tickets with Online Event Registration Software
Raise funds for your charity or nonprofit organization by selling event tickets for your upcoming event right from the fundraising website. You can sell different ticket types and merch such as general admission, donation, VIP, sponsors, t-shirts, etc. to let people choose the type of experience that is right for them at your event. You can also deliver electronic tickets with QR and barcodes and scan the tickets during the event check in using a 2D barcode scanner or a mobile phone with our event registration mobile apps. People can bring those tickets on their electronic devices or print the tickets to be scanned.
Create a nonprofit event registration form that allows you to collect information from each donor or attendee. You can collect the name, contact information, business name, business address, t-shirt size, preferences, etc. about each person. If you want to know how a donor heard about your nonprofit event, you can ask them that question too. Nonprofit event management software can make the fundraising process easier.
Safe and easy payment processing
Attendees can easily register for your event by purchasing a ticket using PayPal, Stripe, or a credit card. You can instantly receive funds without paying commission fees for each ticket you sell (card processing fees still apply).
Track ticket sales and event attendance
Nonprofit event management software will help you track every ticket sold and every donation made. Monitor attendance whether you’re doing a virtual event, hybrid event or in-person fundraising event. Make sure you hit your fundraising goals with the right tool.
Event Smart can grow with your charity
Don’t worry about contracts. Subscribe monthly to the features that your nonprofit organization needs and join with thousands of successful event organizers partnering with the best fundraising software.
Accept donations
Every penny counts! Raise more funds by accepting donations which is helpful for any donor or supporter that cannot make it to an event and still want to support your organization’s mission.
“We were impressed by the simplicity”
Event Smart is a user-friendly system, as advertised. The service and troubleshooting are also fantastic. We were impressed by the simplicity – download the app on a few phones, and scan in hundreds of tickets with zero issues. Lookups for lost tickets were also no problem at all. There are price models for everything, and for our non-profit, it was appreciated that we were able to secure all of the features we needed with little hit to the bottom line. Most definitely will continue our relationship with Event Smart! –Lynne Cohen
An Event Registration Platform For Lots of Different Types of Nonprofit Events
Nonprofit events are unique. Event registration software for nonprofits needs to make the event open and welcoming to as many people as possible, while also focusing on fundraising and attendee management. The nonprofit registration forms need to be flexible to support different types of events too. One day you might want to host a dinner or gala, and the next day you might want to host a fun run. With our nonprofit event registration platform, you can host almost any type of event: dinner or gala, fun run, service project, food donations, competition, auctions, festivals, etc. No matter what type of event you want to use to raise money, we can help.
