# Events.org

> Events.org is a philanthropy and fundraising platform for non-profits, a service of Global Charitable Fund (GCF). It helps non-profit organizations streamline their operations and fundraising: event ticketing, silent and live auctions with mobile bidding (iBid), online donations, recurring giving, pledges, raffles, peer-to-peer campaigns, and donor management. Global Charitable Fund also serves as a fiscal sponsor for vetted non-profits, supporting their missions.

Key facts:
- Events.org is operated by Global Charitable Fund, a philanthropy whose mission is strengthening non-profits.
- Non-profits use Events.org to run galas, auctions, giving campaigns, raffles, golf outings, conferences, and year-round appeals.
- Donors may see charges on their credit card statements with descriptors beginning with EVENTS.ORG* or GCF* followed by a non-profit's name; these are donations, tickets, or auction purchases made to that non-profit through the platform.
- Event ticket sales carry no platform processing fees.
- The platform integrates with systems such as Raiser's Edge and QuickBooks.
