Why development and ops switch
- Table sales in one tool, paddle raises in another, and a board packet that does not add up.
- Volunteer check-in that still depends on a printed list at the ballroom door.
- Software that bills monthly even when the gala is eight months away.
How nonprofits use Tixoola for benefits and year-round programs
Sell named tables and individual tickets for the annual gala, add donation tiers with receipts for supporters who cannot attend, and run raffle add-ons with inventory caps. Program teams reuse the same org for workshops and community nights. Church-specific worship and mission-trip flows live on the faith communities page—this page is galas, benefits, and board reporting. Payouts go to your processor, not a third-party merchant you cannot see.
Tables, sponsorships, and individual tickets
- Table SKUs with named seating requests collected at checkout for donor stewardship.
- Individual tickets and comps for honorees and board guests—tracked separately from tables.
- QR check-in that keeps the lobby moving without a printed paddle list.
Donation receipts and raffles
- Tiered donations next to tickets, including give-from-home options for people who cannot attend.
- Digital raffles with drawing dates, inventory caps, and automated confirmations.
- Receipts and exports development can reconcile without a second giving platform for the night.
Auction pickups and add-ons
- Auction pickups, merch, or symbolic gifts in the same checkout when it fits the night.
- Bundles that lift average gift size without another vendor at the registration table.
Year-round programs on the same org
- Workshops, lectures, and community nights reuse payouts and reporting—no second product.
- Registration-style capacity when a program needs a hard headcount.
One view for the board packet
- Ticket, table, donation, and raffle totals in one settlement for finance and audit.
- Exports that plug into the CRM or accounting workflow your team already uses.
Example: annual gala with tables and a raffle
A regional charity sells named tables online, offers individual tickets, captures give-from-home donations, and runs a raffle against the same org totals.
- Launch table SKUs with seating-name fields at checkout, plus an individual-ticket type.
- Add donation tiers for supporters who cannot attend, with amounts development can receipt.
- Offer raffle add-ons with inventory caps and automated confirmations.
- Scan gala tickets at check-in and export one settlement view for the board packet.
Built for development and ops

Director of Development • Harborlight Foundation
Board packets got easier—tickets, tables, and raffle revenue reconciled without CSV gymnastics.
Cleaner month-end close
Eric Tan
Event Manager • BrightFuture Coalition
Sponsors loved the branded checkout. Volunteers scanned QR codes faster than any spreadsheet list we used before.
Shorter lobby lines

Program Lead • Community Table
We run quarterly dinners on the same hub as our big gala. Reporting finally matches how we talk about impact.
One org story
Nonprofits, charities & community orgs ticketing FAQ
Can we sell gala tables and individual tickets on the same event?
Yes. Create table SKUs (with seating-name fields at checkout) and a separate individual-ticket type. Comps for honorees and board guests stay tracked so development can steward each path.
Do donation receipts work alongside tickets?
You can add donation tiers in the same checkout as tickets, including give-from-home options. Exports combine ticket and donation totals so finance is not reconciling two vendors for one night.
How do raffles work on a benefit night?
Raffle add-ons can sit in the cart with inventory caps, drawing dates, and automated confirmations. Totals roll into the same settlement view as tables and tickets.
Do we pay a monthly fee while the gala is months away?
No. Default Tixoola rates are usage-based. Dark months before the gala cost nothing; you pay when tickets, tables, or add-ons sell.
Can development and program events share one organization?
Yes. The annual gala and quarterly community nights use the same payouts, team access, and reporting. Industry pages are playbooks, not separate products.
Is this the same as church event ticketing?
Galas, benefits, and board-facing campaigns belong here. Ticketed services, mission-trip deposits, and congregation-specific giving are covered on the churches & faith communities page.
