“Our walk-a-thon grew from 100 to 400 participants. Other platforms would have tripled our costs. BetterWorld’s pricing stayed the same – so our success was pure win.”

You’re organizing an a-thon with 300 participants. Every participant needs a page. Every sponsor pledges – some per action, some a flat gift. When the event ends, someone still has to calculate totals, charge sponsors, and send receipts.
Most teams do this with spreadsheets, manual invoicing, and a weekend they’ll never get back. Most platforms that automate it charge per participant – so the bigger the event, the bigger the bill.
An a-thon should be the fun part of fundraising – not the logistics.
FLEXIBLE ACTIVITY TRACKING
If it can be measured, we can track it
Define any activity as your metric – the platform adapts. Set pledge minimums as low as fifty cents so every supporter can participate or set custom suggestions that anchor donors toward meaningful commitments.
PER-ACTION PLEDGING
Donors pledge. The platform settles up.
Supporters pledge per action and pay after completion is confirmed. Flat donations work in the same campaign. When the event ends, the platform calculates totals, charges sponsors, and sends receipts automatically.
PERSONAL PAGES
Every participant becomes a fundraiser
Each participant gets a page with their photo, their story, their goal, and a live activity tracker. Their friends and family give because someone they know is doing the work. Teams or individuals – you choose the structure.
LEADERBOARDS
Friendly competition that drives participation
Real-time rankings show every participant where they stand. Teams compete against teams. Individuals compete against individuals. That visibility motivates one more mile, one more lap, one more ask – and every push drives more pledges.
SCALE WITHOUT COST
Your event grows, your price doesn't
No per-participant fees on any plan. Self-service sign-up or bulk upload for large groups. The pricing rewards scale instead of punishing it – so you think bigger about who to invite.
CORPORATE MATCHING
Double the Donation
Donors and sponsors can check employer matching at checkout. Their gift doubles before they leave. More raised from the same generosity your community already showed up to give.
CUSTOM QUESTIONS
Collect what you need at the moment of giving
Ask sponsors for the context that matters – a dedication, a team affiliation, a t-shirt size for participants. Every response is tied to the gift in your dashboard.
HOW IT WORKS
If your community can measure it, your supporters can fund it.
