Introducing Givesmith · In development

From the first invitation to the final thank-you.

A connected event workspace being designed for nonprofit fundraisers, with tickets, sponsorships, auctions and giving in one supporter story.

Keep the evening in view.

Know who’s coming, which sponsor package they bought and what needs attention. Move from registration to arrival, bidding and checkout with the relationship intact.

Our first production release is intended to replace the event workflows confirmed with our initial customer, including the auction tools they use.

The whole fundraiser belongs in the plan.

These capabilities define the intended event scope. The prototype is a design and workflow demonstration; production integrations remain in development.

Tickets, tables & guests

Ticket types, tables, included sponsor places, guest records and an organized welcome at the door.

Prototype: sample guest list and manual check-in

Sponsorships that stay connected

Sponsor organizations, representatives, package benefits, invoices and clear payment balances.

Prototype: package and benefit examples

Silent & mobile auctions

Auction lots, bid increments, bidder access, closing rules, outbid updates and winner settlement.

Prototype: server-validated synthetic bidding

Live auction & paddle raise

Capture a commitment from the floor and keep it distinct from received funds until it is settled.

Prototype: browser-local pledge capture

Checkout & item pickup

Review one statement, handle settlement and confirm an authorized handoff of auction items.

Prototype: sample settlement and pickup flow

Raffles & special activities

Identify and support permitted customer workflows with the necessary licensing and payment rules.

Prototype: nondeductible register concept; no sales or drawing

After the applause,
the relationship stays.

Event activity should become useful context for the next conversation, with clear records of what was purchased, pledged or given.

A sponsor is more than a package.

Connect the company, the person arranging the sponsorship and the guests using its included places. Preserve the legal payer and approved benefit values.

A bid is different from a gift.

Keep auction consideration, benefits, charitable portions and unpaid commitments distinct. Avoid turning every event dollar into the same kind of donation.

Event night needs more than a nice screen.

Production readiness includes competing bids, reliable closing, payment failures, staff permissions, venue connectivity, recovery and a clear support plan.

The auction prototype uses a real local Cloudflare Durable Object for synthetic bids. It does not run a live auction, charge a card or send a bidder notification.
