What you replace
Ticketing platform. Tiered event tickets with private member-preview tiers cover season subscriptions, single-ticket sales, and donor-only events. QR check-in built in.
Membership platform. Multi-tier recurring memberships with auto-tier assignment based on lifetime giving. Patrons swap tiers from a customer portal; no help-desk ticket needed.
Auction software. Mobile-bidding, reserve, buy-now, full auction-house metadata (medium / dimensions / year / estimate / provenance), winner-email automation.
Email marketing tool. Maintain mailing lists for each audience or optionally include all past donors. Current Broadcast does not derive recipients from tier, lifetime giving, inactivity, or tags.
Donor management (lite). Per-donor lifetime giving, tier auto-assignment, tags, notes, audit log. Replaces the gap between "everything in QuickBooks" and a $20K Raiser's Edge license.
P2P fundraising tool. Each board member, volunteer, or alum can run their own campaign page that rolls up to your annual fund total. Multi-image story, custom photo, individual goal.
