The Greater Giving Fundraising Suite solution enables nonprofits to manage live and online fundraising activities year-round. It also allows you to track live and online fundraising in one system to cross-reference donors and donations to use for future fundraising efforts. This Suite includes Greater Giving Event Software, Greater Giving Online Payments, Auctionpay, and Greater Giving Online Auctions.
- 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; and 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 Online Auctions is a comprehensive, easy-to-use online Web-based solution that allows you to hold an online auction in conjunction with a benefit event or as a stand-alone fundraiser. Designed specifically for nonprofits, Online Auctions will help you expand your donor base, reach out to new constituents to tap into new income sources, and improves your fundraising visibility with sponsors and supporters.
Greater Giving Fundraising Suite allows you to manage all your fundraising efforts end-to-end, in both the real and virtual world.

"We're now planning our second event using Greater Giving's solutions for our fundraising auction. We had rave reviews on how smoothly everything went at last year's auction and I can't imagine running an event without Greater Giving. From planning through execution everything was very easy and worry free. The event software and payment processing systems work seamlessly together, leaving a very positive guest experience - one of our primary goals."
— Kristin Connolly, American Red Cross Oregon Trail Chapter, OR
Holy Trinity doubled the previous year’s revenue and raised over $117,000 at their most recent auction event, exceeding all goals and assuring the seminary the renovations it needed. They believe that pre-registering their credit cards at the beginning of the event with Auctionpay terminals had everything to do the huge increase in donations. “Pre-registering made it easy for them to place the bids.” The combination of ease and appeal brought in as much as $8,000 for one ‘Priest package.’ Though the auction team began with ambivalence about taking credit cards, they were “completely won over event night.” “We loved the efficiency of it and the fact there was no manual entry. Doubling our revenue and increasing our guest numbers so drastically was proof that the changes Greater Giving helped us make were just what we needed.”
— Rita Backus, Holy Trinity Seminary, TX
“Greater Giving’s online registration piece really grabbed me.… It had every detail they needed and really helped free up my time.”
— Amanda Haugh, St. Francis Healthcare Foundation, OK
