The site went from one page listing three services to a page for every kind of event we run, and each one started showing up for its own searches.

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.

Q04 00:06:40 Tooling
Ticket, table and sponsorship intake
One form with a dropdown for ticket, table or sponsorship interest, routed to the right person on your committee so nothing sits unanswered close to the event.

Q0700:13:00Q and A
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.
