Feature details
See how every part of the platform works.
What each feature does, what it's good for, and what to expect on the night of your event.
Auctions and mobile bidding for the annual dinner
Whether it's a hybrid dinner, an online-only silent auction or a live paddle raise for the coordinated campaign, bidding works on phone, tablet and desktop. Supporters check in, browse the catalog and bid from their table, or from across the state.
- Silent, live and hybrid auction formats
- Mobile bidding with text alerts when someone is outbid
- Paddle raise with a live progress meter on the big screen
- Text to give: put a keyword on screen and supporters give from their phones
- Customizable, mobile-friendly online catalogs
- Express checkout with a card on file
Ticketed events, from the dinner to the picnic
Sell seats and tables for the annual dinner, tickets to the summer picnic or a spot at a candidate meet-and-greet. Every ticket buyer lands on the same contributor list as your bidders and contributors.
- No per-ticket fees
- Individual tickets, tables and sponsorship levels
- Guest names collected at purchase
- Check-in at the door from any phone or tablet
Golf outings that raise money three ways
A golf outing brings in registrations, hole sponsorships and whatever the auction raises at the dinner afterward. Run all three from one event site, so your treasurer gets one set of records instead of three.
Sponsor recognition and sign-up questions are on the Plus and Professional plans.
- Online registration for players and foursomes
- Hole and tee sponsorships, with sponsors shown on your event site
- Collect shirt sizes or handicaps when players sign up
- A silent auction or paddle raise for the dinner afterward
- Check players in from any phone or tablet
Contribution pages and crowdfunds for every push
Put a contribution page on the party website, or launch a crowdfund for the coordinated campaign with a goal meter supporters can share. Branded templates mean you aren't juggling five tools or five logins.
- Online contribution page with a button you can embed on your website
- Crowdfunding pages with goal meters and matching gifts
- Text to give for rallies, house parties and phone banks
- Pledge drives: per door knocked, per call made, per anything
- Every contribution on the same contributor list
Dues and sustaining members that keep the lights on
The big events pay for the big pushes. Membership dues and monthly sustaining contributions cover the headquarters rent and the website in between. Collect both online instead of waiting on checks at the monthly meeting.
Recurring contributions and text invitations are on the Plus and Professional plans.
- Membership dues and renewals collected online
- Monthly or annual recurring contributions
- Sustaining-member sign-up forms
- Invite members to renew by email or text
- Members and sustainers on the same contributor list as everyone else
An online store for yard signs, buttons and picnic plates
Sell party merch all year, or take pre-orders so you know how many plates to order for the picnic before the day arrives. Every sale shows up in the same reports as the rest of your fundraising.
Pre-orders are on every plan. The online store and item options are on the Plus and Professional plans.
- Online store for yard signs, buttons and t-shirts
- Pre-orders for picnic plates, dinner extras and anything else
- Sizes, colors and other options, each with its own price
- Sales included in your contribution and revenue reports
Voting contests that keep supporters engaged
Run a chili cook-off, a pie contest or a best-photo vote where every ballot is a contribution. It's a light lift for keeping supporters active in the off-year.
- Unlimited entries and unlimited voters
- You set the contribution amount per vote
- Public leaderboard that updates in real time
Point of sale for the bake-sale table
Bake sales, merch booths at the county fair, the cash bar at the dinner: ring up in-person sales from a phone or tablet. Every sale shows up in the same reports as the rest of your fundraising.
- Simple checkout screen volunteers can learn in minutes
- Your own item list: baked goods, yard signs, t-shirts, drinks
- Charge a guest's card on file at events
- Sales included in your contribution and revenue reports
Run event night without breaking a sweat
Volunteers check guests in at the door, put a card on file and hand out bid numbers. Mobile bidding does the rest, and checkout at the end of the night takes one tap.
- Self check-in or volunteer-staffed check-in
- Card-on-file pre-authorization
- Live reporting in the room
- Express checkout and emailed receipts
Reports your treasurer can file from
Detailed reports on contributors, bidders, buyers, items and revenue, exported as CSV and ready to import into the campaign-finance software your committee already uses for its FEC or state filings. We never sell or share any of it.
PartySupporters prepares the data. Filing, and following your contribution limits, stays with your committee.
- Contributor name, address, employer and occupation
- Contribution, bidder, buyer, item and revenue reports
- CSV export for import into your filing software
- Contribution receipts emailed to every supporter
