Getting Started

EventraiseHub helps schools, nonprofits, and community groups run donations, ticketing, peer-to-peer campaigns, and mobile auctions from one place — with secure PayPal checkout and phone-based sign-in for organizers.

1

Create your account

Register with your US mobile number — no password to remember.

Go to Sign Up, enter your name, organization, and mobile number. We send a one-time verification code by SMS (Twilio Verify). Sign in the same way at /auth/login anytime.

2

Create an event

Launch a donation drive, tickets, RSVP, volunteers, or sponsorship.

From your dashboard, choose an event type, set goals and dates, add a description and image, and connect payout details. Events are the hub for donations, ticketing, and optional P2P or auction modules.

3

Enable peer-to-peer (optional)

Let supporters run personal fundraising pages for your event.

Fundraisers sign in and use Become a Fundraiser to create a page at /p/[slug] with a live thermometer, story, and goal. Add teams and leaderboards; matching gifts can amplify donations automatically.

4

Run mobile auctions (optional)

Silent or live auctions with real-time bidding on phones.

Bidders register and vault a PayPal payment method once, then bid on lots from the auction catalog. Bids update in real time; anti-snipe extends lots in the final minute. Winners are captured when lots close.

5

Publish and share

Go live and spread your event, P2P, and auction links.

Publish when ready. Share the event page, individual fundraiser links (/p/slug), and auction URLs by text, email, or social. Donor wall and leaderboards update live during the campaign.

6

Accept payments with PayPal

Donations and tickets checkout through PayPal only.

Supporters pay with cards, PayPal balance, Venmo, or Pay Later where available. All new checkout uses PayPal (legacy card processors are not supported). Receipts and attribution to P2P pages are handled automatically.

7

Stay in the loop

Push, SMS, and in-app alerts — especially for auction bidders.

Auction bidders can enable Web Push after placing a bid to get outbid alerts quickly. SMS uses our messaging service (US deliverability depends on carrier registration). There is no separate marketing email provider on the platform.

8

Track results and payouts

Dashboards, exports, and organizer payout requests.

Monitor donations, tickets, auction GMV, and fundraiser progress in real time. Request cash out from Organizer Payouts when your event ends. Platform operators use a separate Admin Console at /admin/login.
