GalaBid overview

What is GalaBid?

GalaBid is an online fundraising platform which is used by fundraisers to facilitate silent auctions, raffles and donation campaigns.

GalaBid is optimized for live events and standalone, online-only campaigns. It’s available to everyone from individual fundraisers to organizations including non-profits, schools, and sports clubs.

Some of its handy features for live events include leaderboards, notifications via text message and volunteer accounts to assist event guests with registration, bidding and making payments.

With GalaBid, fundraisers receive their funds raised directly. Fundraisers simply connect an existing Stripe account or create a new one from within the GalaBid dashboard. Fundraisers also have the option to ask supporters to cover the transaction fees charged by Stripe.
