Hi all,
What do you use to check guests out at your fundraising gala if they have auction purchases or fund-a-need pledges that need to be paid for? Are you able to use Tessitura or TNEW to register guests' credit card numbers and to check them out at the end of the evening? Do you use another software solution and if so which one?
We're old school/cheap and still use paper pledge forms. Wondering if it's time to catch up to the 21st century.
Thanks,
Laura

We just used Givergy for our silent auction and fund-a-need gifts at our Gala. Instead of a stressful hour of grabbing all the forms and typing up the winners, it was all tallied and everyone got an email right away with their winnings. They weren't required to put down a credit card at the beginning so there was some follow up but much less than usual. We got a sponsor to cover the cost of using them. Highly recommended if you can can afford it.
