“We are so happy to have used BetterUnite for our gala. Their all-inclusive platform allowed for seamless registration, livestream viewing and auction bidding, all while amplifying our fundraising goal and organization mission.”

Anna Prvenzano, Well Aware

“We far surpassed our goal, which was a bit ambitious in the first place. We are so grateful to BetterUnite and their support team's generosity and involvenment.”

Sarah Nininger, Action In Africa

“BetterUnite brought our event to the next level. We raised more money than any year before, and the check-in, table assignments and mobile bidding worked without a hitch. We highly recommend!”

Cindy Miller, Make a Wish Foundation

“We encourage all of our clients from Greater Giving or GiveSmart to BetterUnite. There is really no comparison. From an event organizer standpoint, BetterUnite has better tech, is far easier to use and, most importantly, the guests love it. It’s like having technology that makes the event great that the guests don’t even realize that they’re interacting with.”

Ann Wolford, The Wolford Group

“We used OneCause for years but have switched to BetterUnite for our past 2 galas, both hybrid events. Our auctioneer suggested that we make the move and we’ve never looked back. BetterUnite is easier to use and so much less expensive – we also are not stuck in a contract for several years. In those 2 years, BetterUnite has made many upgrades and design adjustments. Their development team is always working for our business and we love that.”

Dana Meserole DeLorezno, Eanes Education Foundation, Austin, TX

“We switched from Event.Gives to BetterUnite because it was easier to set up and we could talk to a real person when we needed to. BetterUnite also works on all web browsers equally well and had a better guest experience for our donors. Not to mention it's been a more cost-effective solution for us. Our data and finance teams really like the reporting tools too.”

Jolie Cady, Center for Child Protection

“BetterUnite was an integral part of our fundraising event experience. It was the nexus point through which we did everything from sell tickets, arrange the seating map, to finalize payments for both our silent and live auctions.”

Chloe, Fusebox

“We will be BetterUnite clients for the foreseeable future because they are always just there when we need them. They listen, they answer questions, they've even created functionality when we presented a problem we were having. No one does that!”

Adrienne Santaluria, Dallas 24 Hour Club

“I love that I can send a message, go to bed, and wake up with BetterUnite's amazing support! Their support team is truly accessible 24 hours a day.”
