A gala and fundraising event website built to raise more before the night even starts

A gala or fundraising event website earns its keep by making it easy to buy a ticket, sponsor a table or give directly, all from pages built for a donor rather than a general audience.

Q0200:02:00Notes

What usually goes wrong for nonprofit gala and fundraising event planners

  • 01

    Ticket and sponsorship information for the current event is buried in a PDF or an old blog post instead of living on a clear page.

  • 02

    There is no way for a past donor to give again quickly outside of the one big event, so smaller ongoing gifts get missed.

  • 03

    Past event recaps and impact numbers are not on the site, so a new donor has no proof the event actually funds anything.

  • 04

    The site is not built to update quickly each year for a new date, venue and honoree, so it looks stale by the time invitations go out.

Q0300:03:10Fit

What the package does for nonprofit gala and fundraising event planners

Answer: Gala and fundraising teams get the most from the ticket, table and sponsorship pages, a standing donate page, and quick yearly updates through revisions. The 5 revisions a month cover the date, venue, honoree and sponsor changes that come every season.

What gala and fundraising planners tell us

  • My first check was simple: open the event production briefs page on a mobile and try to get in touch. The essentials are within the first screen, with an obvious way to inquire. Sending the link by text during a call finally works the way it should.

    Got: Mobile navigation and page layout for event production briefs (Load-In)

  • We took the wording about event production briefs seriously, and I am glad we did. It is accurate about the process and careful not to promise what only a conversation can settle. Correcting the site's accidental promises is no longer part of our calls.

Questions from nonprofit gala and fundraising event planners

Can the site link out to our existing donation processor?

Yes. We build the donate and ticket pages and link to the processor you already use, such as a nonprofit-specific platform, rather than replacing your payment processing.

Can we update the event date and honoree ourselves each year?

You send the update as a revision request through your client portal and we turn it around within 2 to 5 working days. You never log in to edit the site yourself.

Do you help show our impact numbers?

We build the page and write around the figures you give us, and every number is sourced to what you provide. We never invent an impact statistic on your behalf.

Can past donors give outside of the annual event?

Yes, a standing donate page separate from the event page is included, so ongoing giving is not limited to the weeks around your one big night.

Can committee members request changes?

Changes come through your client portal or by email from whoever you nominate, and each is tracked so the committee can see its status.

Can we show sponsor benefits by level?

Yes. A sponsorship page can lay out table and sponsor levels with benefits, with or without prices, and route interest to the right person.

Is the site accessible for older donors?

It is built with readable text sizes, strong contrast and keyboard-friendly forms, in line with the accessibility standard we build to, which also helps older donors on phones.

Can the site recap past galas?

Yes. Past events become recap pages with photos and the impact figures you provide, which new donors use as proof.
