The Greater Giving Complete Event Suite solution delivers event management, online registration and fundraising, and payment processing for benefit auctions and fundraising events. This Suite includes Greater Giving Event Software, Greater Giving Online Payments, and Auctionpay.
- Greater Giving Event Software manages all the details necessary to plan and run a successful gala event and benefit auction. It allows you to register and track guests; manage vendors, sponsors, and volunteers; organize item procurement; manage guest seating; send email communications; print night of event documents like bid sheets; and report and analyze event success. Greater Giving Event Software is delivered on two platforms—Event Software Online, used for planning and managing a fundraising event, and Event Software PC, used for night-of-event operations and post-event reconciliation.
- Greater Giving Online Payments is a customizable and affordable way for nonprofit organizations and schools to raise funds and collect credit card payments online. Visitors to your Website can easily and quickly register for an event and make a donation, membership payments, or other purchases. Online Payments can also be used to register and pay for classes, seminars, or conferences unrelated to a benefit event or auction.
- Auctionpay is a secure, cost-effective payment processing solution designed for live and silent auctions, golf tournaments and galas. It improves your guests’ experience at the event by reducing long check-in and end-of-evening cashier lines, encouraging a relaxed bidding environment. It also eliminates inaccuracies that come with manual, post-auction credit card data entry, making you and your staff and volunteers more efficient.
Greater Giving Complete Event Suite has helped thousands of nonprofits and schools take the worry out of planning and executing an event—before, during and after.

"Greater Giving’s Complete Event Suite provided Assistance League of Greater Collin County with what Treasurer, Fran Baker calls ‘the total package.’ “When it comes to Greater Giving, do it! It’s always easy to get a hold of someone when you say, ‘I did that wrong!” and I said that a lot!” They were also thrilled with the Auction Boosters from Greater Giving, and, says, “We were thrilled with how well received they were. They were wonderful packages, and it was so great that we did not have to go out and procure them; we simply went to the Greater Giving site. It was all very easy.”
— Fran Baker, Assistance League of Greater Collin County, TX
“It was my first time using Greater Giving solutions, and I found the products so easy to use. It made check-in and checkout very easy. The best part was that the parents were so happy with the immediate exit. And using the event software for all the cataloging of the items as they come in, since they come in from all over the world, was great too.”
— Diane Hufnagle, Riverview School, MA
“By moving more of the work to the Web, we greatly increased our efficiency because it did all the record keeping for us...We thought it would be too expensive and too much hassle…but Online Payments was cost-effective and painless.”
— Kellee Harris, Christ the King Parish School,
