## Overview

### Key benefits of HelloFund

Built for galas, silent auctions, and live auction events, HelloFund 
manages your full event lifecycle — from ticketing and sponsorship sales 
to guest management, table assignments, onsite check-in, and post-event 
reporting — all in one platform.

Launch mobile-friendly silent and live auction pages with built-in mobile 
bidding, outbid notifications, and seamless checkout — giving guests a 
smooth bidding experience while your team tracks results in real time.

Charge a flat fee, not a percentage of funds raised. HelloFund's 
transparent flat-fee pricing starts at $1,495/year, saving organizations 
thousands compared to platforms that take 2-5% of every dollar bid or 
donated. Events on HelloFund average over $127,000 in credit card volume.

After every event, HelloFund automatically generates a board-ready Event 
Snapshot — a one-page summary of total revenue, top auction items, top 
donors, ticket sales, and fee coverage. No spreadsheets, no guesswork.

Every HelloFund account includes a dedicated Auction and Event Specialist 
who helps configure your event, train volunteers, and guide your team 
through event night. The Essentials package adds a dedicated onsite rep 
with laptops, card readers, and printed bid cards.

### "Thank you HelloFund\!" — 5.0/5

> **Stacy** | *12 May 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: There are several pros to HelloFund:  The system is user-friendly and intuitive.  Once oriented, HelloFund enhanced the efficiencies in our fundraising and event planning.  HelloFund has made our last 3 galas fun and efficient - from pre-event planning, online registration, night-of registration, live auction and fund-a-need management - we are happy\!
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing stands out.  I do recommend spending time learning the system and understanding your roles in managing the system to it's full potential.
> 
> Extremely Satisfied\!   One of the biggest pros is \[sensitive content hidden\].   He is accessible, quick to respond, ready to teach and ready to troubleshoot.  I'm also learning that the system is versatile.  We will be using for additional events.   Thank you HelloFund\!

> **Kelsey** | *28 April 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: HelloFund was very user-friendly - both front-facing and behind the scenes. It was easy to pull reports, and our team didn't have to spend any time troubleshooting issues with donors, as everything worked great\!
> 
> **Cons**: I wish there were a way to navigate to individual fundraising pages from the fundraiser homepage, instead of sending individual links.
> 
> It was such an easy experience to get everything up and running for our student fundraiser\! Each student had their own fundraising page to keep track of their progress.

### "Definitely Recommend\!" — 5.0/5

> **Maisie** | *5 May 2025* | Philanthropy | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Hello fund is so easy to navigate and track ticket sales for an event. I really appreciated the responsiveness and collaboration that we used to build our websites.
> 
> **Cons**: I wish there was a little more freedom to design the homepage for ticket sales.
> 
> Overall I have enjoyed using HelloFund and will continue to use them for future events. When planning an event, you have so many other things to worry about and plan, so having HelloFund take care of the financial/ticketing side of things is such a relief.
