1. Sell tickets and take donations together
Add name-your-price tickets alongside fixed tiers so supporters can give more than the ticket price. Set a minimum and a suggested amount, and let generous donors round up.

Built for fundraising events
Galas, benefit dinners, golf scrambles, auctions, and community fundraisers all run on the same tools.

Nonprofit ticketing FAQs
How much does nonprofit event ticketing cost on TixSimple?
There is no monthly platform fee. Paid tickets carry a 1.3% + 33¢ service fee plus standard Stripe card processing, and you can pass that to the ticket buyer so your organization nets the full ticket price. Free tickets carry no service fee at all.
Can supporters donate more than the ticket price?
Yes. Name-your-price tickets let the buyer enter their own amount. You set a minimum and a suggested default, so a $50 gala seat can just as easily be sold for $150 by a supporter who wants to give more.
Do donations go straight to our organization?
Yes. Payments settle into your organization's own Stripe account on Stripe's normal payout schedule. TixSimple never holds your funds.
Does TixSimple issue tax receipts?
TixSimple emails a branded order confirmation and ticket for every purchase, including the amount paid. Your organization is responsible for issuing formal tax acknowledgement letters, since only you can determine the deductible portion of each gift.
Can we give free or discounted tickets to members and volunteers?
Yes. Upload a CSV of member email addresses to unlock special pricing automatically at checkout, create coupon codes for specific groups, or issue tickets directly by email at no cost.
