In September 2021, RallyUp launched its Virtual and Hybrid Events solution. Designed specifically for fundraising, the platform lets organizers handle ticketing, livestreaming, donations, and more — all in one seamless, interactive suite. RallyUp makes it easy for organizations to bring on-site attendees together with a virtual audience by letting them connect, compete, and participate together in a variety of traditional activities like raffles, auctions, and sales, as well as through RallyUp's new features including:
- A Robust Event Platform – Organizations can livestream to more than 10,000 attendees with all the functionality needed to run a major virtual fundraising event.
- Interactive Livestreaming Actions – Trivia Contests, Spotlight Items, Paddle Raises, Flash Auctions and Raffles, and Donate-to-Vote help virtual event organizers engage more donors to support their cause to the fullest extent.
- Single Experience Page – Donors often have to navigate one or more URLs to engage with an organization's fundraising activities before an event, and then a different URL during the livestreamed event. Now, organizers can share a single URL that donors can use from start to finish.
- Unlimited and Gated Livestreaming – Organizers can host as many livestreams as they want for a single experience. Livestreams can also be limited to people who buy tickets, or they can be open to the public.
Until this launch, event organizers who wanted to capitalize on the virtual or hybrid event experience were forced to juggle disparate fundraising solutions for ticketing, livestreaming, donations, and more. But during a live event, it's chaotic to stitch mismatched solutions together, both for showrunners and for donors. RallyUp's solution streamlines the experience, freeing up more time for nonprofit staff and volunteers to focus on engaging with donors.
RallyUp’s start-to-finish virtual fundraising platform allows charities, schools, and other organizations to create next-generation fundraising experiences that help them further their causes in significant ways and addresses the challenges of fundraising remotely. And, with younger generations now increasingly interested in micro-philanthropy, interactive virtual fundraising events can offer a new avenue to engage with giving, harnessing the enthusiasm of new donors who may want an alternative to traditional fundraising events.

Reviews on Capterra highlight RallyUp’s ease-of-use and effectiveness.
- “As a tiny nonprofit, we don't have the staff to implement a complicated silent auction or raffle. WE have used RallyUp for our annual raffle twice now, and find it easy-to-use and effective, for both back-end use and our ticket buyers. There are lots of ways to customize the raffle and getting paid was easy.”
- “We have used other sites before but our profit margin using RallyUp greatly increased. They are amazing for non-profits. The site was very easy to manage, it was easy for users to navigate, the reports were excellent and the support was second to none.”
- “This product was VERY easy to use. It was very easy to set up. The most telling part of how easy this was that we got NO QUESTIONS at all from users about how to set up or that they were stuck on any step. We loved being able to export reports. This is not really software based, but the SUPPORT was also brilliant. The FAQs are very clear and there are a lot of them to get any answers you need. If you could not find your answer, it was very easy to email and the responses were very prompt and efficient.”
- “Fundraising can be so exhausting and can have lots of upfront expense. Rallyup saved us money, time, and most importantly STRESS!”
- You have the option to answer this final question: Reference any attachments of supporting materials throughout this nomination and how they provide evidence of the claims you have made in this nomination (up to 250 words):
