Every dollar raised,in one report

Q: Why does the fee cap matter for a gala?

Because tables and sponsorships are expensive. A percentage fee that never stops climbing takes a bigger bite the more you raise. Past $1,261 an order the 3% stops at $39 — so a $2,500 table is charged $39.50 instead of $77.82, and a $5,000 sponsorship $39.50 instead of $155.14.

Q: Can we take donations and payments on the night?

Yes. Donations and raffle sales run at 1%, and the built-in point of sale takes cards and cash during the event at 19¢ per transaction. It all lands in the same report as the tickets and sponsorships.

Q: Do we own the donor and attendee list?

Yes — all of it, with custom fields and export any time. Addmi never markets to your attendees or donors.

A gala raises money four ways in one evening. The fee cap matters most here: on a $2,500 table the charge stops at $39 instead of climbing with the price.

The cap, drawn out

3% stops growing at $39

Percentage fees punish expensive tickets. A $2,500 gala table or a $5,000 sponsorship should not be billed like a stack of general-admission tickets. Addmi caps the 3% at $39 per order, so past the cap the bite keeps shrinking. A flat 50¢ per paid ticket is charged on top, and free tickets are free.
