Reduced fees for nonprofits
Accept donations

With Ticketstripe, nonprofits can save as much as 50% or more in fees compared to other platforms. Free tickets are always free. And funding is immediate!

Nonprofit Tools
Mix & Match Donations
Nonprofits thrive on donations. Ticketstripe makes it easy to collect them.
- Flexible donations allow donors to give what they can.
- Suggested donations help your donors avoid decision fatigue.
- Tiered donations give Sponsors special perks and admission (like swag, placements, and VIP tickets).
Tax Write-Offs Written In
Many donors choose to give because such donations can be written off as deductions at the end of the year. To do that, they need to know the Fair Market Value of any charitable purchase. Ticketstripe allows you to set a Fair Market Value that will appear on your donor’s receipt to make tax time much easier for them and you.
Grow Your List Without Lifting a Finger
Any nonprofit organizer will tell you the success of an event often relies on attracting the right attendees. Attracting those big donors and generous patrons depends on targeting the right audience with the right message. Our Ticket Bundles allow you to easily collect valuable, individual attendee information that can be used to grow your lists and build targeted marketing campaigns.
Groups and organizations will often buy many tickets at once. This can cause confusion and delay entry on event day when 12 people show up with only the buyer’s name on a ticket. While having the buyer’s contact information is great, you could multiply your reach by automatically collecting information on every attendee with whom the buyer shares tickets.
Bundling table seats or individual admission tickets into a Ticket Bundle triggers the electronic process by which the Buyer can email tickets to individuals, and the recipient can claim the ticket after entering their information. The whole process takes just seconds, and there is no need for an attendee to create an account. Just one more benefit of using an Eventbrite alternative that cares about nonprofits!
Eliminate Distraction
Whereas other ticketing platforms show competing events and advertisements on your event page, we want to shine the spotlight on your organization and eliminate distractions that interrupt the buying process. Personalizing your event page with a logo, background colors, and image is a cinch and plays an important role in getting a buyer or donor to give up their hard-earned money.
Making your organization and message the focus on an event page has been proven to:
- Reduce ticket buyer and donor confusion.
- Eliminate the risk of buyers getting distracted at checkout.
- Increase the likelihood of a successful ticket purchase or donation.
- Increase brand recognition and engagement.
- Increase trust.
