Built for 501(c)(3) fundraising — secure payment tools that keep the giving going from the night itself through to the last pledge converted.
Live events demand instant, frictionless payments. Generic tools create queues, lose pledges, and put card data in places it shouldn't be.
Galas, auctions, and fundraising dinners generate spontaneous giving — but collecting card details on the night is chaotic, insecure, and loses donations to friction.
Guests pledge generously at events but converting those pledges into payments is tough. Without automated follow-up, a real percentage of pledged funds never materializes.
Long queues, paper forms, and manual card terminals slow down giving at live events. Supporters lose enthusiasm when the payment process drags.
Matching donations to donors, campaigns, and events after the fact is time-consuming and error-prone. Incomplete records make 501(c)(3) acknowledgments and Form 990 reporting harder than they need to be.
From live auctions to post-event pledge follow-up, every feature is designed to keep giving easy and secure.
DTMF masking lets donors give over the phone securely. Fundraising staff hear only flat tones while card details are captured — perfect for post-event pledge calls.
Display QR codes at events that link to secure, branded donation pages. Guests scan and pay from their phones in seconds — no queues, no forms, no friction.
Send automatic follow-up messages with secure payment links to pledged donors. Convert more pledges into payments without manual phone calls or emails.
Create dedicated donation pages for each event with real-time fundraising totals. Track performance, share progress with supporters, and report to the board.
Every payment page is fully responsive and optimized for mobile. Supporters donate from any device at any time — during the event, on the way home, or days later.
See donations land as they come in during live events. Real-time dashboards show fundraising progress, donor details, and payment status — all in one place.
QR codes, payment links, and phone payments mean supporters give the moment they want to — no queues, no forms, no lost enthusiasm.
In-person guests, virtual attendees, remote donors — everyone gets a secure, straightforward way to give that works for them.
Winners pay immediately via QR code or payment link. No paper forms, no card terminals being passed around tables, no queues at the end of the night.
Most pledges are made in the room on the night. Automated follow-up with a payment link converts far more of them than phone calls or emails ever will.
Every donation is tagged to the right campaign, donor, and event automatically. Tax receipts, board reporting, and 501(c)(3) reporting requirements are all covered.
No specialist training and no hardware to install. Generate QR codes and payment links in minutes, brief your volunteers, and you're ready.
Yes. Before the card-entry step, your fundraiser captures the donor name, address, and email — everything the IRS expects on a written acknowledgment for gifts of $250 or more. The donation record stores the contribution alongside the donor record, so your year-end tax receipts and Form 990 prep already have what they need. See how phone payments work for the full call flow.
The donor keys their card number into their own phone keypad while still on the call with your fundraiser. We replace the keypad tones with flat audio in real time, so your fundraiser hears nothing identifiable and the digits never touch your call recording or CRM. They stay on the line throughout to confirm the donation landed. DTMF masking is what makes this work.
Rather than putting card data on event-staff devices, we send a secure payment link by SMS or email — the donor taps it and pays from their own phone. Card data never lands on a borrowed iPad or a volunteer's laptop, which keeps the night out of PCI scope entirely. Payment links handle the in-room and post-event pledge follow-up the same way.
Yes. Once the donor keys in their card via the phone keypad, we tokenize it and you set the schedule on the spot — monthly, quarterly, or annually. The donor doesn't need a second call to authorize future collections, and the token is meaningless to anyone who intercepts it. Useful for converting a one-off event donor into a sustaining supporter without the admin friction. See recurring payments for the setup detail.
If your nonprofit never touches card data, your PCI scope stays at the minimum SAQ A level no matter how many galas, telethons, or auctions you run. Because card details go straight from the donor's phone into our PCI DSS Level 1 environment, none of your event laptops, volunteer devices, or office systems come into scope. That keeps your charitable solicitation registrations and state-level fundraising compliance simpler too.
