Is there nonprofit pricing?

Yes. WebMobi offers discounted pricing for registered nonprofits with all features included. Contact our team with your 501(c)(3) documentation for nonprofit rates.

How does the silent auction work?

Create a digital item catalog with photos, descriptions, and starting bids. Attendees browse and bid on their phones, receive outbid notifications, and pay through the app when bidding closes. No paper bid sheets needed.

Can donors set up recurring donations at events?

Yes. The donation form includes options for one-time and recurring giving (monthly, quarterly, annually). Recurring donors are tracked separately in your donor management dashboard.

Do you generate tax receipts automatically?

Yes. Every donation and auction purchase generates an automatic tax receipt with your organization's name, tax ID, donation amount, and date — sent instantly to the donor's email.

Fundraising Events That Maximize Every Dollar

Online donations, ticket sales, silent auctions, donor recognition, and impact reporting — everything nonprofits need to run successful fundraisers.

Nonprofits using digital fundraising tools at events raise 40% more than those relying on traditional cash and check collection.

The Challenges

Collecting donations at events through cash, checks, and separate payment apps creates reconciliation nightmares and lost contributions when donors face friction.

Nonprofits operate on tight budgets and can't afford enterprise event platforms, but free tools lack the donation tracking and donor management features they need.

Demonstrating impact to donors requires connecting their contributions to specific outcomes — a narrative that's nearly impossible to build without integrated event and donation data.

How WebMobi Solves This

Integrated donation processing with one-tap mobile giving, pledge tracking, and recurring donation options removes friction and captures every contribution opportunity.

WebMobi offers nonprofit pricing that makes professional event technology accessible, with all the donation and donor management features built in at no extra cost.

Post-event impact reports connect donation totals to program outcomes, giving donors the tangible proof of impact that drives continued giving.

Why Fundraising Events Need Specialized Technology

Fundraising events serve a dual purpose: raising money and building donor relationships. Unlike commercial events where attendees pay for value received, fundraising events ask people to give generously based on emotional connection to a cause. The technology supporting these events needs to make giving effortless while creating meaningful experiences that deepen donor commitment.

Generic event platforms treat donations as an afterthought — a link in the footer or a separate payment page. WebMobi integrates fundraising into every aspect of the event experience, from registration through post-event stewardship.

Removing Friction from the Giving Moment

The most critical moment at a fundraising event is the ask — when donors are emotionally moved and ready to give. Any friction at this moment — searching for a payment page, filling out a lengthy form, or being told "we only accept checks" — costs your organization donations.

WebMobi's mobile donation experience is designed for this moment: one-tap giving with suggested amounts, Apple Pay and Google Pay support, pledge options for larger gifts, and instant confirmation. During live appeals, a real-time donation thermometer on screen creates social proof that motivates additional giving. The result is consistently higher donation totals compared to traditional collection methods.

Running Professional Auctions Without the Complexity

Silent auctions are one of the most effective fundraising event formats, but they're also logistically demanding. Paper bid sheets get lost, items need monitoring, outbid notifications don't exist, and checkout at the end is chaotic.

WebMobi digitizes the entire auction experience: items are displayed with photos and descriptions in a mobile catalog, bidders receive instant notifications when outbid, bidding closes at a precise time (no more hovering over bid sheets), and winners are processed automatically with mobile payment. This digital approach typically increases auction revenue by 30-50% compared to paper-based auctions.

Building Long-Term Donor Relationships Through Events

A fundraising event isn't just about that night's donation total — it's about building relationships that generate giving for years to come. First-time event donors who feel connected to your mission become recurring supporters; recurring supporters who feel appreciated become major donors.

WebMobi's donor management features track each supporter's journey: events attended, total giving, engagement level, and communication preferences. This data powers personalized follow-up — first-time donors receive impact stories, mid-level donors get exclusive event invitations, and major donors receive personal outreach. Post-event reports show not just total raised, but donor acquisition, retention, and upgrade metrics that indicate long-term fundraising health.
