Product Update: Customized Event Registrations for Nonprofits

Running an event can be exhilarating, but managing event registrations often feels like navigating a maze. Nonprofits are too often stuck with tools that create unnecessary headaches—systems that fall into one of two frustrating extremes. 

One default option may be to use a generic form for participants to complete their registration payment, and then redirect them to a completely separate platform to set up peer-to-peer fundraising pages. This disjointed process creates friction for participants and extra work to reconcile data. 

Alternatively, organizations may attempt using rigid peer-to-peer tools that awkwardly squeeze in registration fields but lack the flexibility to collect custom information like waivers, t-shirt sizes, or other event-specific details. Both approaches lead to inefficiencies, participant confusion, and additional admin work.

At CauseVox, we believe nonprofits deserve a registration process that works for them, so we designed a highly customizable event registration tool that adapts to your needs. Our goal is to help you create a streamlined, tailored registration experience unique for every event. This helps to simplify your workflows, enhance participant engagement, and seamlessly integrate registration with fundraising. 

Whether you’re hosting a walk-a-thon, race, bowl-a-thon, gala, or team challenge, CauseVox empowers you to tailor every detail of your event’s registration. By unifying donations, ticketing, and peer-to-peer fundraising into one seamless and guided process, our platform helps you save time, engage your supporters, and amplify your event’s impact, all in one intuitive platform.

Customizable Fundraising Site

The fundraising site is the stunning centerpiece for your event, designed to reflect your brand and mission. Fully customizable, it showcases event details, inspires participation, and integrates registration, ticketing, donations and fundraising tools. Whether you’re hosting a gala, walk-a-thon, or team competition, you can tailor the site to your event’s unique needs, unifying the experience for participants and supporters.

Flexible Forms

Connect any combination of customizable forms tailored to your event. Each form integrates seamlessly into the Member Portal, making the process simple for both nonprofits and participants. 

Here’s what you can build:

  • Donation Forms: Enable customized tiers for one-time, recurring, or pledge gifts to support your event.
  • Ticketing Forms: Create individual ticket tiers, bundles, and even offer an optional donation at checkout.
  • Registration Forms: Event-agnostic forms that allow you to add curated custom questions, waiver fields, or other details needed for participants to meet your event requirements.

The forms support free and paid tiers as well as custom fields to collect participant details, providing maximum flexibility to meet your unique event needs.

Guided Checklists

The optional checklist streamlines participant actions by guiding them through required or optional steps, such as completing forms, purchasing tickets, making donations, or setting up a peer-to-peer fundraising page. With this customizable guide, participants can easily complete all necessary steps in one platform, reducing confusion and ensuring no detail is missed.

Member Portal

The Member Portal is the centralized registration hub where participants sign up and manage their event activity. With a single email login, participants can complete all registration steps, view event details, access order history and track fundraising progress. This account keeps participants engaged and simplifies event management for nonprofits.

Event Registrations Walkthrough

Now that we’ve explored the registration components, let’s see how they come together to create a seamless experience.

CauseVox’s event registration tools are built to adapt to any event, offering guided registration, streamlined workflows, and easy reporting. Imagine you’re hosting a bowl-a-thon and need participants to sign up, complete a registration form, provide waiver agreements or t-shirt size, pay a fee, and create a fundraising page.

To start, select the form, or combination of forms you’d like to use for your event registration:

  • Donation Form
  • Ticketing Form
  • Registration Form

Next, customize the form(s) by adding:

  • Event details and instructions to the form landing page
  • Free or paid tiers (registration fees)
  • Any required or optional custom questions (waiver agreements, and t-shirt size, etc.) 

Once the form is customized you’ll go ahead and connect it to the Member Portal. If additional actions are required, such as processing donations or purchasing additional items, you can also set up those forms to integrate into the registration process. Every step is tailored to meet your event’s needs, ensuring participants move smoothly through the process while providing you with all the details you need.

Next, set up a customized checklist creating one streamlined flow. Using the CauseVox admin interface, add required or optional action steps and arrange them in the exact order in which participants should complete them.

For example, the first step might be a required action to pay the registration fee. When marked as required, participants won’t be able to begin the next step of creating a personal page until they’ve paid the registration fee. This ensures clarity and structure for participants while simplifying the process for organizers.

By integrating all aspects of the event into one streamlined flow, the checklist ensures that registrations are accurate and tailored to each participant’s level of involvement.
