Stop Drowning in Auction Item Chasing, Seating Charts & Sponsor Logos.
Let Us Run Your Fundraising Event Back Office & Donor Logistics.
From OneCause, Givebutter, and Classy auction lot cataloging and AllSeated table assignments to sponsor deliverable tracking, 501(c)(3) tax substantiation receipts, and vendor run-of-show synchronization. Focus on major donor stewardship while our managed virtual assistants and dedicated Project Manager run the operational engine.
Stop Trading $150+/hr Donor Cultivation Time For $15/hr Spreadsheet Data Entry
Your highest-value impact as an event director or development officer lies in cultivating major gift donors, securing corporate title sponsors, perfecting the live appeal paddle raise, and inspiring board members—not formatting 400 meal preference tags, re-naming vector sponsor logos, or drafting tax receipts.
Zero Management Overhead
You don't have time to micro-manage junior volunteers or explain ticketing software twice while facing tight venue deadlines. Your dedicated Sagedoer Project Manager enforces event SOPs, audits seating charts against sponsorship tiers, and serves as your operations second-in-command.

- Single point of contact across all your event workflows

- Flat $6 - $7/hr transparent billing
- Zero recruiter commissions or placement retainers

Fundraising Event Operations FAQ
Direct, honest answers regarding donor data confidentiality, mobile bidding platform integration, event week crunch scaling, and Dedicated PM oversight.
Donor trust is the bedrock of non-profit philanthropy. Every Sagedoer virtual assistant and project manager operates under legally enforceable Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). We enforce strict PCI-DSS and clean-desk InfoSec protocols: team members access your mobile bidding portals (OneCause, Givebutter, Classy) and donor databases (Raiser's Edge, Bloomerang) via role-based credentials managed in 1Password with mandatory 2FA. Full credit card numbers are never stored locally or seen in clear text, as all payment processing remains encrypted inside your PCI-compliant payment gateways (Stripe, Blackbaud Merchant Services).
Yes. Our assistants are proficient across major event fundraising platforms, including OneCause (BidPal), Classy, Givebutter, Greater Giving, Eventgroove, and Auctria. They write compelling lot descriptions, verify fair market value (FMV) disclosures, set up starting bids and buyout values, format category tags (trips, dining, sports memorabilia), and upload donor-provided imagery so your auction catalog looks polished and ready to generate maximum paddle bids.
You never have to manage or train your virtual assistant directly. Your dedicated Project Manager serves as your operational event producer. You supply high-level directives (e.g., "Assign these 8 corporate tables in AllSeated, gather dietary meal requirements for the caterer, catalog these 20 wine donations, and prepare the sponsor slide loop by Wednesday"), and your PM turns that into structured checklists, cross-audits table numbers, inspects sponsor vector formats, and delivers a completed review package—100% free of charge.
Fundraising event workloads naturally pulse—furious sprint weeks leading up to gala night with rapid seating adjustments, last-minute RSVP updates, and check-in prep, followed by post-event tax receipting and quieter off-season planning. Because Sagedoer maintains a deep bench of pre-vetted specialists, you can seamlessly scale between part-time (20 hrs/week) and full-time (40 hrs/week) or activate secondary sprint assistants on demand with zero recruitment retainers, onboarding charges, or cancellation penalties.
None. You pay strictly for pure hours of active execution: $7/hour for part-time (20 hours/week) or $6/hour for full-time (40 hours/week). We do not charge setup fees, monthly platform retainers, or payment transaction surcharges. Your Project Manager’s supervision and quality audits are always included at $0 extra.
