Charity & fundraising events

Paid registrations, sponsored walks and a count of who came, in one app.

For walks, runs, galas and fundraising days: sell registrations through your own payment account, check people in with a QR, run a team step challenge with a leaderboard, and credit your sponsors where supporters look.

Personal stats with total steps, today steps, streak and daily average tiles, a badges earned 4 of 7 counter and an expedition badges grid of earned and locked badges
Review your booking sheet with one selected slot, a quantity, a total payable, a Pay button and a note that payments are processed securely by a payment gateway

Who it is for

  • NGOs, foundations and CSR teams running a fundraising walk, run, gala or awareness day.
  • Organisers who need paid or free registrations, entry by QR and a clean list of who took part.
  • Corporate partners who want employees to walk in teams for a cause and see their progress.

FAQ

Questions about charity and fundraising events

Do you take a cut of the money we raise?

No. Payments settle to your own gateway account. Sociana charges either a small fee per registration (Flex) or one flat fee, never a percentage of ticket value or donations.

Can supporters register without installing an app?

Registration and payment can run on a web page, with the app for those who want their QR, the leaderboard and updates on their phone.

Which fitness trackers does the step challenge read?

Steps come through Apple Health on iPhone and Health Connect on Android. Watches that write into those apps are counted; we do not connect to Fitbit or Garmin directly.

Which of your events is closest to a fundraiser?

HSBC’s 45-day step challenge, APMI’s paid room bookings and the BWF meet-up’s ticketing. Between them they cover pledges, payments into your account and entry by QR.
