For arts councils and multidisciplinary nonprofits
Fundraising Platform for Arts Nonprofits
Arts councils and multidisciplinary arts nonprofits can run annual-fund campaigns, accept QR donations, configure recurring membership tiers, manage events and auctions, and export donor reports. This page is for year-round fundraising across programs, while the performing-arts page covers production-based organizations. Standard fundraising has a 2.5% platform fee per donation, and payment processing is separate.
Start Your Organization's AccountYear-round arts nonprofit workflows
Annual-fund campaigns. Create a public campaign for the organization's annual fund, a multidisciplinary program, a facility need, or a named project.
Recurring membership tiers. Configure named monthly or annual tiers. Donors choose an active tier and complete subscription checkout through Stripe.
Events and auctions. Offer free or paid event tickets with check-in. Silent auctions support mobile bidding, optional reserves, optional buy-now prices, and item details.
Mailing lists and broadcasts. Maintain organizer mailing lists and send campaign broadcasts. Current Broadcast does not derive recipients from donor tier, lifetime giving, inactivity, or donor tags.
Donor records and reporting. Review completed lifetime giving, donor tier assignment, tags, notes, and supported CSV exports.
Peer pages and QR cards. Board members, volunteers, or alumni can use individual fundraiser pages that roll completed gifts into the organization's campaign total.
