Charity & fundraising auction software for the event-night experience.
From silent auctions and paddle raises to fund-a-need appeals, Unovance Global gives nonprofits mobile bidding, donor management, and a branded event you own — so the relationships outlast the gala.
A great gala lives or dies on the event-night experience. Long checkout lines, lost bid sheets, and a room that goes quiet during dinner all leave money on the table. Unovance puts mobile bidding in every guest's hand, so the silent auction stays live, the leaderboard keeps people competing, and checkout takes seconds instead of an hour.
Fundraising has its own formats. You can pair timed silent lots with a fast live paddle raise and a fixed-level fund-a-need appeal, with every dollar feeding one live thermometer the room can watch climb. Behind the scenes, item donors, bidder contacts, and giving history are tracked so your development team turns one night into a year-round relationship.
Most fundraising tools rent you a generic event app. Unovance is built on ownership: your brand, your donor data, your buyer relationships. Auto-generated winner invoices, tax-deductible receipts, and exportable settlement reports mean your finance team reconciles the gala in minutes — and you keep everything you need for next year.
Everything a development team needs for a profitable gala.
Mobile bidding for the whole room
Guests bid from their phones, get outbid alerts, and check out in seconds — no clipboards, no bid-sheet scramble at the end of the night.
Silent, live, and fund-a-need together
Run timed silent lots, a fast live paddle raise, and a fixed-price fund-a-need appeal from one event, with totals rolling up to a single thermometer.
Donor and consignor management
Track item donors, bidder contact details, and giving history so your development team keeps every relationship after the gala ends.
Settlement, receipts, and gift-aid records
Generate winner invoices, tax-deductible receipts, and exportable reports automatically — your finance team reconciles the night in minutes.
Frequently asked questions
Can guests bid from their phones during the gala?+
Yes. Unovance supports mobile bidding so every guest browses lots, places bids, and receives outbid notifications from their own phone. It keeps the room engaged through dinner and removes the end-of-night paper bid-sheet bottleneck.
Does it handle fund-a-need and paddle raises?+
It does. Alongside timed silent auctions you can run a live fund-a-need appeal at fixed giving levels and a real-time paddle raise, with all proceeds feeding one live total so the room sees momentum build.
Do we keep our donor and bidder data?+
Yes — that is the ownership advantage. Every bidder record, donor contact, and giving history stays in your branded platform, not rented from a marketplace. Your development team keeps the relationship for next year’s campaign.
Can we issue tax receipts and reconcile after the event?+
Unovance generates winner invoices and tax-deductible receipt records automatically, and exports settlement reports your finance team can reconcile quickly. Item donors and fair-market values are tracked so paperwork is ready when the night ends.
