What eventmate is
eventmate is a web platform for Canadian nonprofit teams running fundraising nights. It combines ticketing and attendee check-in with silent auctions, live auctions, on-site sales and donations. Fundraising activities can use the same QR experience guests already have open, while guests buy tickets, merchandise and raffle entries from their phones. Silent-auction bidding works on any phone and sends live outbid alerts. Live-auction bids and totals can appear in the room in real time. Donation tools provide instant CRA-ready receipts and live totals; a testimonial says guests donated without creating an account or entering card details. Event Starter includes a custom event page and branding, Event Hub, onboarding materials and email support, with add-ons priced per event. Event Maestro unlocks all add-ons and adds analytics and reporting dashboards, priority email and phone support, onboarding, up to 10 team members and unlimited events for 12 months. The maker describes the service as Canadian-owned and women-owned. Event Starter is $99, paid once.
