Paddle Raises Now Available in Auctions and Live Displays

updated

Summary

This release adds support for Paddle Raises within the Auctions app and Live Displays, giving nonprofits another powerful way to drive giving during fundraising events.

Paddle Raises let event hosts make a direct appeal for donations during an event, giving attendees an opportunity to make an additional gift beyond auction bids and purchases. With this update, Paddle Raises can be incorporated directly into the Auctions experience and surfaced through Live Displays, helping make the generosity happening in the room visible in real time.

What you can do with Paddle Raises:

  • Add a live giving moment to your auction: Use Paddle Raises alongside auction bidding to create an opportunity for attendees to make direct contributions during an event.

  • Showcase Paddle Raise progress: Display giving activity through Live Displays to build excitement and encourage additional participation.

  • Bring fundraising activity together: Give attendees a more complete event experience that combines auction bidding, direct donations, and other fundraising opportunities in one place.

Why this matters for nonprofits:

A Paddle Raise can turn the energy of a live event into an immediate fundraising opportunity. By bringing Paddle Raises into Auctions and Live Displays, organizations can make these moments more engaging and visible while giving supporters another way to contribute to the mission.

Happy Soapboxing!
