A fundraising dinner playbook that captures the room
Tickets sell on one platform, donations arrive on another, and the pledge cards from the room never get typed up. The event's true total is a guess for weeks.

The problem, stated plainly
Tickets sell on one platform, donations arrive on another, and the pledge cards from the room never get typed up. The event's true total is a guess for weeks.
Event fundraising is money raised around a gathering — a dinner, a sponsored run, a conference — including ticketing, in-room giving and the follow-up ask.
What to change
CharityFront puts ticketing, in-room giving and the follow-up appeal behind one link, with a single running total.
- Add an event block and connect Eventbrite, Luma or Ticket Tailor for ticketing.
- Add a QR poster and a contactless tap point for the room.
- Run the appeal live; the progress bar updates as gifts land.
- Send the same link afterwards to convert people who did not give on the night.
What we would expect to see
Because the event link is part of your permanent storefront, the follow-up ask goes to the same URL that was on the table cards, and the totals stay in one place.
- Fundraising dinners with a live appeal segment
- Sponsored runs, walks and challenge events
- Community open days and school fundraisers
Frequently asked questions
Can we keep our existing ticketing platform?
Yes. Eventbrite, Luma and Ticket Tailor embed directly, so ticket sales stay where they are while giving is unified.
Can we show a live total on a screen?
Yes. Open the campaign page on a laptop connected to the screen; the progress bar updates as donations complete.
CharityFront in short

- What is CharityFront?
- CharityFront is a donation storefront and link-in-bio platform for charities. A charity gets one mobile page at chrty.link that holds its campaigns, donate buttons, Gift Aid and Zakat options, events, QR codes and supporter sign-ups, plus a dashboard that reports where each donation came from.
- Who is it for?
- Registered charities and non-profits that raise money from social media, including Muslim charities handling Zakat, Sadaqah and Waqf, and the small fundraising or digital teams who run their campaigns.
- What problem does it solve?
- One bio link cannot serve many campaigns, mobile donation forms lose donors, and charities cannot tell which post, QR code or ambassador produced a donation. CharityFront puts every campaign on one page and attributes each donation to its source.
- Why choose it over the alternatives?
- Fixed impact tiers instead of an empty amount box, Zakat, Waqf and Gift Aid handled as separate reportable funds, ambassador sub-links with their own analytics, and Stripe Connect payouts straight to the charity's own account. It also works alongside an existing donation platform rather than replacing it.
- What does it cost?
- Creating a charity account and building a storefront is free. Publishing publicly and Pro features (ambassador sub-links, shop, quick donate, advanced analytics, integrations) require a paid plan.

How charity event fundraising works.
QR donations turn any printed or on-screen surface into a donation point: a supporter scans a code with their phone camera and lands directly on the appeal, ready to pay
Tap to donate is contactless giving: a supporter taps their card, phone or watch against a collector's phone or a tap point and the donation completes in seconds, with no cash involved
Volunteer management is how a charity recruits, briefs and tracks the people who give time rather than money — from sign-up form to shift to thank-you
