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. Segmented blasts by tier, lifetime giving, lapsed-since, and tags. Send the year-end appeal to lapsed donors only, the patron preview to Gold-and-above only.
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.
