Events Overview

Your Funraisin platform can host a variety of events simultaneously. These events fit into three different categories:

Online Events

These are peer-to-peer (P2P) events that you as an administrator create with supporters being able to join. Whether you’re using Funraisin to power a single flagship event or as a multi-event hub, Online Events are where you create, edit and maintain your event information.  Within the settings, you can choose whether fundraisers who register for an Online Event will have a fundraising profile page.

Examples:

  • 10km in person Fun Run 
  • Virtual cycle ride
  • Ticketed family walk

Offline Events

Offline Events allow you to sell tickets to physical events. Funraisin enables you to set various different entry methods for Offline Events including Registration, RSVP and Buy Tickets. Entrants do not get a fundraising page.

Examples:

  • Gala ball and dinner
  • Ticketed lecture series

DIY Events

These are events that a fundraiser creates on your site themselves, using a theme that you've created. As an administrator you’re not able to create a DIY Fundraising event that a fundraiser can join (that would be an Online Event), you’re simply able to keep a track of all DIY Events that fundraisers have created to support them along their journey.

Examples:

  • Birthday fundraiser, where a supporter is collecting donations for your charity
  • A sporting challenge, where a fundraiser has chosen their own challenge and is collecting donations for your charity
