What nonprofits use it for
Galas and benefit dinners
Offer ticket tiers and table sizes, give sponsors a promo code, and see sales and attendance in one place when the evening is over.
Charity runs, walks and community days
Run free registration to manage capacity and collect names, or sell entries and scan them from a phone at the start line.
Member and donor events
Use an access code so only members, donors or invited guests can register, and share the code in your newsletter.
Workshops and volunteer nights
Set a cap, let people register ahead of time, and let a waitlist collect interest once you are full.
Features that matter for your events
- Direct Stripe payouts. Ticket money goes to the Stripe account you connect, not through us.
- Access codes. Restrict an event to the people you share the code with.
- Promo codes. Discounts for sponsors, volunteers or early supporters.
- Caps and waitlists. Set a limit; when the event sells out, a waitlist collects interested guests.
- QR check-in. Scan tickets with a phone camera at the door; no special hardware.
- Reports and CSV export. Sales and attendance reports, and exports for your records.
- Post-event surveys. Ask attendees for feedback after the event.
- Refunds and cancellation. Refund a buyer or cancel an event; cancelled events refund everyone automatically.
What it costs
Creating events is free, and free events cost nothing for you or your attendees. On paid tickets, buyers pay a flat 75¢ per ticket plus card processing, shown before they pay, and your organization receives the full ticket price.
| Annual fundraising dinner | Eventbrite fees | Eventfold fees |
|---|---|---|
| 200 tickets at $50 | $1,018 | $514 |
These are the total fees buyers pay at checkout, assuming one ticket per order. Eventbrite's rate (3.7% + $1.79 per ticket plus 2.9% processing) is from its published pricing as of October 10, 2026. Other platforms also price for community groups, so compare totals for your own event in the fee calculator or see Eventfold vs Eventbrite.
Get started in four steps
- Create a free organizer account.
- Create your event: dates, venue, ticket types and any caps or codes.
- If you are charging for tickets, connect a Stripe account to receive payouts. Free events don't need one.
- Share the event link, then check people in with your phone on the day.
Common questions
Does Eventfold cost anything for a nonprofit?
No. Creating events is free. On paid tickets, the buyer pays a flat 75¢ fee plus card processing, and your organization receives the full ticket price.
Do we need to be a registered charity?
No. Any organization can use Eventfold. Whether ticket purchases are tax-deductible, and what receipts you owe donors, is up to you and your accountant; Eventfold does not provide tax advice.
Do we need a Stripe account?
Only to receive money from paid tickets. Free events and free registration don't need one.
What happens if we cancel or refund?
You can refund individual tickets, and cancelling an event refunds every buyer automatically. Refunds return the ticket price and the buyer's fee share.
Is Eventfold established?
No. Eventfold launched in October 2026, so it has a smaller audience of ticket buyers than the big marketplaces. It is built for organizers who already have their own supporters and members.
