Paddle Raise

The fastest way to run a live ask at a gala or dinner event.
Designed for zero-latency performance in front of a full room. One tap records a pledge instantly. Multi-staff means everyone on your team can work the room simultaneously.
FEATURES

Everything Paddle Raise does.

Every feature you see is built and available now in the app.

Instant Pledge Recording

Tap an attendee's name to record their pledge. Screen updates instantly — no waiting for server confirmation.

Live Ask Management

Current ask amount displays prominently. Change the ask mid-session without stopping the flow.

Multi-Staff Simultaneous

Multiple staff on separate devices work the room at the same time. Pledge deduplication is automatic.

Multi-Pledge Long-Press

Long-press any attendee for multi-unit pledges — one donor committing to multiple ask amounts.

Undo

Swipe or tap undo to reverse the last pledge within seconds. No awkward corrections mid-session.

Add Walk-Up Guest

Add a donor who isn't on the pre-loaded list without stopping or interrupting the session.

Cumulative Totals

Each attendee row shows their total pledged across all asks in the session — at a glance.

Projector Mode

Display a live pledge total and running donor count on a venue screen while you work.
