I have loved using OneCause for our events. Setup is easy and the customer support is responsive and helpful. Our bidding and donations increased tremendously since making the switch 7 years ago. The product keeps getting better.

Pros:

Customer Service! Very knowledgable staff. Very helpful on technical issues and other operational areas. I love the platform for my event guests. Most understand it easily and can troubleshoot pretty quickly.

Cons:

For me, the actual adding multiple pictures for items. And, the custom pages can be a little technical for rookies.

Best in the Business Event Fundraising Software

I have been using the Fundraising platform for 3 years. I am so impressed how they have grown it and committed to continuous improvement. Every single event, something has been added, enhanced, and upgraded. I have increased my fundraising through events by 47% in 3 years since switching to OneCause.

Pros:

OneCause works perfectly for my large scale nonprofit events. While some other softwares tout themselves as being "free", I find that OneCause is worth the investment as it provides a seamless experience for guests and comprehensive event management for me. We have been very happy with all elements of a live fundraising event - auction, paddle raise, check-in and check out, raffles, and more! Their customer support is outstanding and they are committed to continued growth as they are constantly evolving the product with updates.

Cons:

Unfortunately it doesn't integrate into our CRM directly (Blackbaud/Raiser's Edge) but using Omatic is not a problem.

Reasons for switching to OneCause

Our experience with Classy Live was a complete failure and lost us money.

Vendor Response

Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear OneCause has supported your fundraising events so seamlessly—from auctions and raffles to paddle raises and guest management. It’s wonderful to know our customer support and continuous product improvements have made such a meaningful difference for your team. Congratulations on the 47% increase in event fundraising over the past three years—that’s an incredible accomplishment! We’re honored to be part of that success and look forward to supporting many more great events ahead.

Pros:

OneCause is very user friendly and easy to figure out even for the novice user. There are several work-arounds and all are pretty easy to figure out. I have used this platform many times only once a year and although I need a refresher once coming back into it, I can pick it up very easily - very user friendly.

Cons:

it is pricier than most other platforms. Although they update the platform on a regular basis, I would like to see some competitive features added.

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re so glad to hear that you find the system overall easy to use—and even more glad that our staff has been able to jump in and help whenever you need support. We know some tools, like check-in, can feel a bit more complex at first.

Our team is always here to help you feel confident every step of the way. Thanks for being part of the OneCause community!

Pros:

OneCause is user-friendly from a donor perspective. I receive many comments after our annual Gala about how the platform is superior to other bidding and auction programs.

Cons:

There were a few features in the old platform that were a little antiquated - I anticipate these have been updated and improved in the new version.

Reasons for choosing OneCause

Ease of use, customer service, recommendations by colleagues in other local nonprofits

Reasons for switching to OneCause

Other nonprofits in our geographical area had migrated to OneCause, and we decided to switch to maintain cohesive usage across events. If local donors are used to using a specific platform, they're happier to use one they're more familiar with, and more likely to donate.

Vendor Response

Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that donors consistently find OneCause easy to use and that the platform helps elevate your gala experience. It’s also great to know you’ve had such positive interactions with our customer service team—they love supporting events like yours. We appreciate your note about the older platform, and you’re right—the new OneCause Fundraising Platform includes many updates and improvements. Thanks for choosing OneCause and for being part of a community of nonprofits making fundraising easier for donors and teams alike!

OneCause WINS at Bid!

I am a raving fan of OneCause and have been for years. I've used it for PTA fundraisers in both elementary & middle school; and convinced my employer to implement it for our annual fundraising gala at the non-profit I work for. I love the simplicity of the mobile bidding site, the ability to pull reports a variety of different ways, and the ease of use for guests. And I truly appreciate everyone at the customer service center. Unexpected issues always come up for events and they always remain calm while walking me through how to solve the issue at hand. Love, love OneCause for silent auctions!

I like that OneCause is very intuitive to set up and manage. From setup to customer service to the end user, I think the process is seamless. It might seem expensive, but the time savings must be considered. It makes for a very efficient process, especially for non-profits with limited staff.

Cons:

It is a very big process to get guests entered with all of the information. It takes too much time.

It best fits our needs and we could use it at multiple branches. More bang for our buck!

Cons:

There are some redundancies at the point on entering the guests names. Also, it is very confusing for the guests to have to enter their credit card number to claim the ticket, even though their tickets were complimentary. They thought that the ticket purchase was required.
