About

BetterUnite is the most extensive events & auction platform that lets you create, manage, and run events, big or small. With free support and our Virtuous integration, you can seamlessly sync donors and transactions and simultaneously get 50% off packages for your first year. 

Features

Event Ticketing & Sponsorships
Customizable ticketing. Add images, limits, timed ticketing, FMV, and even have tickets auto-create a table or team in our table/teams management tool.
Silent Auction & Mobile Bidding
Choose to allow non ticket-purchasers to join your silent auction, or not. With a personal guest experience link that doesn't require an app or password, guests can favorite items, browse via your categories, and set max bids and auto-bids. Demo with BetterUnite to see even more features.
Live Auction & Paddle Raise
With our Quick Add feature, you can seamlessly link bidder numbers to guests and add live auction and paddle raise gifts to guest carts. You can allow prior viewing of live auction items and even allow guests who can't make it to give to your paddle raise from their personal guest link. 
Raffle & Items for Sale
Create raffle tickets and bundles with multiple prizes or just a general drawing bucket. Use the random drawing generator on the backend to make choosing the winner easy! You can also add items for sale into your event/fundraiser with FMV automatically reflected in tax-deductible receipts. 
Table & Teams Management
No more using sticky notes or excel spreadsheets to visualize where guests are sitting at your gala (or which golf team they're on). With our Table & Teams Management tool, you can drag and drop guests, add table limits or table captains, color code tables, email or text tables or teams, and even pull reports by custom checkout field. This makes pulling a meal preference report for your caterer extremely easy!

Testimonials

"I love that BetterUnite is a comprehensive fundraising platform with tools for everything; from managing silent auctions, tracking bids, and recognizing donors to event registration, check-ins, guest participation (both in-person and virtual), and more. It’s impressive how many advanced features are available for nonprofits. The onboarding process was excellent, and the support was top-notch, ensuring the success of our first hybrid fundraising event."

Jose K.

A Comprehensive Fundraising Tool with Exceptional Support

"I LOVE that we have a dedicate representative that will help us when we have needs for our events. It is so wonderful to have the same person help us and help us grow our organization to serve the needs of our families."

Jennifer J.

Excellent Fundraising Tool with AMAZING support team!

"Overall it's been a wonderful and easy experience. Being able to track guests, manage raffle and auction and accept donations in one place has made our event so efficient!"

Lynne S.

BetterUnite has been a dream to work with!

"We arrived at Better Unite after going through about four other platforms. I have five decades of IT experience and my professional opinion is that Better Unite was developed & designed by someone who understands the needs of a professional fundraiser. The other platforms we abandoned appear to have been developed by people that understood databases but not fundraising or the technical level of the people who would be using it."

Robert W.

Good platform for the less technical

"1) Ease and intuitive use. Our volunteers can hop in and get to work with very little training. 2) Depth of platform. BetterUnite "gets" nonprofits and we've watched as they have expanded the program to respond with tools that help nonprofits advance.3) Customer service. Excellent. 10,000 stars!"
