Raise more. Keep more.
Run your next gala, auction, or team fundraiser on one platform for tickets AND donations. Flat 3%, no per-ticket fees, and zero tip prompts added to your donors' checkout. And donors watch the goal bar fill up live as the night goes on.
Donations, goal bars, donor receipts
Set a fundraising goal, offer suggested amounts, and let donors leave messages. A real-time progress bar shows momentum. That is the number one driver of donation conversion.
- Standalone donation pages, no tickets required
- Suggested amounts plus custom donations
- No surprise tip prompt added to your donors' gift
- Automatic receipts with your org branding
- Goal progress bar visible on the donation page
Tickets and donations on one page
Let attendees add a donation to their ticket purchase in one flow. More checkout friction means fewer donations. We removed the friction.
- Add donation step at ticket checkout
- Sell general admission, VIP, or multi-tier tickets
- QR codes scanned at the door with any phone
- One Stripe payout covers tickets and donations
Direct-to-bank payouts
We never hold your money. Funds land directly in your Stripe account. Your org is always the merchant of record for transparency and tax reporting.
- Connect your existing Stripe account in minutes
- Daily or weekly Stripe payouts to your bank
- All transactions exportable for your books
- Works for 501(c)(3), booster clubs, school PTOs, and more
A branded page for your fundraiser
Your gala, auction, or drive gets its own shareable page. Tickets, donations with a live goal bar, the schedule, and sponsor thank-yous, all on one link with rich social previews.
- Pick a theme or your own colors, add your logo
- Donate and buy tickets right on the page
- Looks great shared in email, texts, and social
How we compare
Keep more of every dollar you raise
The “free” and low-fee tools fund themselves by nudging your donors to tip, or by taking a cut off the top. We charge a flat 3% you control, and never ask your donors for a tip.

Common questions
What percentage of donations do you keep?
3% platform fee, plus whatever Stripe charges for payment processing (2.9% plus $0.30 on most cards). That's it. No monthly fees, no setup fees, no long-term contracts.
Can donors give without buying a ticket?
Yes. Every event gets a standalone donation page in addition to the ticket page. Share the donation link directly in your newsletter, on social, or wherever makes sense.
Is this tax-deductible for donors?
Assessment Sync is the payment facilitator, not a charity. Tax deductibility depends on your organization's 501(c)(3) status. If you are a registered nonprofit, donations are deductible to donors per IRS rules. We provide donor receipts for your records.
Can I switch from GoFan, Givebutter, or Classy?
Yes. Set up a new event in under 10 minutes. Past donor lists can be imported on request. Your Stripe payout timing stays the same since funds flow through your own Stripe account, not ours.
Do I need to be a nonprofit to use this?
No. Schools, booster clubs, PTOs, sports teams, community groups, and individuals can all run fundraisers. If you can open a Stripe account, you can use Assessment Sync.
Ready to run your next event?
Start free in minutes. No setup fee, no monthly subscription, no contract. You only pay when money moves: a flat 3% on tickets and donations, or per performance when you score.
