Fundraisers & Galas
Galas, auctions, and benefit nights only work if every part of the experience is buttoned-up - and every guest feels moved to give. Funktion handles the logistics (RSVPs, seating, paddle moments) while making giving simple, transparent, and a little magical to watch in real time.
The Scene
Picture a black-tie evening with a cause at the center. There's a band, a keynote from your honoree, a paddle raise, and a silent auction running in the background. Every guest at every table can give from their phone, see the total climb live, and leave knowing exactly what their night helped fund.
See how this event comes to life with Funktion by exploring the enabled experiences below.
CrowdFund
Make giving effortless - no apps, no envelopes, no awkward hand-offs. Add tribute gifts, matching moments, and a live total that climbs as the night goes on.
RSVP
Collect dietary needs, table requests, paddle numbers, and accessibility info in one form. Run-of-show teams get clean data; guests get a smoother arrival.
Table Assignments
Guests find their seat in seconds - on their phone, with the names of everyone at the table. Frees up check-in volunteers and avoids the front-door bottleneck.
Learn More About
Give every honoree, board member, and beneficiary a digital profile - their story, why they matter, and how guests can follow what comes next.
Announcements
Paddle raise opens. Match deadline in five minutes. Auction closes at nine. Push the right message at the right beat without grabbing the mic twice.
Guest Book
Capture messages of support for the cause or honoree - usable in next year's appeal, your annual report, or just to remind everyone why they came.
Photos
A shared album the development team can use in next year's appeal - and that guests can revisit when they decide whether to come back.
Timelines
Cocktails, dinner, paddle raise, program, dancing - keep the run-of-show visible so guests know what's coming and your team isn't herding.
