<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th><th data-hidden data-card-cover data-type="image">Cover image</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><a href="/pages/-MWfiXvCOAwbbkXRFQrT">Donation</a></td><td><em>(Fund-a-Need, Paddle Raise, pledge drives, one-time or recurring gifts)</em> — Use this for your primary ask. Paddle Raise and Fund-a-Need work great during live events when you want to inspire a room; pledge drives and recurring gifts are better for sustained, year-round giving.</td><td><a href="/files/1B6ECYYFZVbpn8345wti">/files/1B6ECYYFZVbpn8345wti</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="/pages/-MWfGxf6MPrNJut5n4OD">Ticketing</a></td><td><em>(event tickets, raffle tickets, event-day purchases)</em> — Use this any time you're hosting a paid event or want to sell chances to win a prize. Raffle tickets can be sold before or at the event.</td><td><a href="/files/FW1LYe6wguMQzQUM18Gn">/files/FW1LYe6wguMQzQUM18Gn</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="/pages/-MWf2mK2UOIRJwyicmbR">Auction</a></td><td>Use this to generate competitive bidding on donated items or experiences. Silent auctions run through mobile bidding (guests bid on their phones) or with traditional bid sheets; live auctions are facilitated by an auctioneer, and you sell the item to the highest bidder.</td><td><a href="/files/KjonxwBLHAa0Ajf1eygg">/files/KjonxwBLHAa0Ajf1eygg</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="/pages/jA3MA92u2RR88X10eWn7">Long Pledge</a></td><td>Use this when donors want to give a large amount over time (e.g., $10,000 paid in monthly installments). Great for major gift conversations.</td><td><a href="/files/tVQqaCVIDctEVzWkxSbF">/files/tVQqaCVIDctEVzWkxSbF</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="/pages/-MWfouFEq9upOku8M9ZC">Last Hero</a></td><td>Use this as an engagement game during events: guests sponsor a player/ donate an amount to win an item, and the last one standing wins. It's a fun way to boost donations mid-event.</td><td><a href="/files/Dn19yY3MISmhL2R5uC9b">/files/Dn19yY3MISmhL2R5uC9b</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="/pages/r478stIPzsAdzvb66V6c">In Kind</a></td><td>Use this to track and receipt non-cash contributions like auction items, services, or goods. Important for donor acknowledgment and tax records.</td><td><a href="/files/D4nO1zCoO0MwH8iJuMhH">/files/D4nO1zCoO0MwH8iJuMhH</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="/pages/-MX09LmA_2W-E-gJu42N">Peer to Peer</a></td><td>Use this when you want your supporters to fundraise <em>for</em> you — great for runs, walks, giving days, or ambassador-style campaigns where donors bring in their own networks.</td><td><a href="/files/tBeYyN643dlWGpVT7kvx">/files/tBeYyN643dlWGpVT7kvx</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="/pages/neLlK1QgmyQFExAFE63q">Merchandise</a></td><td> Use this to sell branded items or event merchandise before, during, or after an event. You can sell items such as drink tickets, food tickets, tickets for opportunities like a wine pull or other event-day sales.</td><td><a href="/files/9SOYWSOkrCYcMwjZ9IGc">/files/9SOYWSOkrCYcMwjZ9IGc</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="/pages/ISoCcgrtMHQK5TB2MF2Q">Party Sign Up</a></td><td>Use this to let donors reserve a spot at a smaller experience or dinner party, often used as an add-on to a larger event.</td><td><a href="/files/x6X11ZcuqJXVbILhUrym">/files/x6X11ZcuqJXVbILhUrym</a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="/pages/LX4DoV1BChUeBp73DkuZ">Puja</a></td><td>Use this to let devotees sponsor or request a puja ceremony for a specific occasion — a birthday, anniversary, memorial, or blessing. Supporters select the type of puja and dedication, and the temple can issue a receipt for the contribution. A good fit for temples looking to formalize sponsorship requests they're already receiving informally.</td><td><a href="/files/o8kIwPgDfcVY4G6cEZvr">/files/o8kIwPgDfcVY4G6cEZvr</a></td></tr></tbody></table>
