The document provides steps for non-profit organizations to connect an event created on Eventbrite to a fundraising page on FirstGiving, allowing event attendees to set up fundraising pages from the Eventbrite registration process and combining registrations, donations and contacts into one database across the two platforms. The steps include signing into existing Eventbrite and FirstGiving accounts, creating corresponding events on each, and connecting the events to prompt attendees to fundraise when purchasing tickets or registering for the event.

1. How To
Create Your Connected Event

2. This is how our partnership benefits our nonprofit clients. You can now…
• Allow your event attendees to set up their own fundraising pages
• Track your efforts from both platforms so you always know how much you have
raised from registrations and fundraising
• Combine your FirstGiving and Eventbrite contacts into one database

3. There are just a few very simple steps
that stand between you and this awesome functionality.
So let’s get started…

4. STEP 1
Sign into your existing Eventbrite Account .
If you do not have one, create a new Eventbrite account.

5. STEP 2
Create a new Eventbrite event.
This event will eventually be connected to your FirstGiving account
to allow event attendees to create fundraising pages.

6. Add your Eventbrite event details and make sure the event is “Live”.

7. STEP 3
Log into your FirstGiving account.

8. STEP 4
Create a new FirstGiving event that corresponds to your Eventbrite event.

9. You will have the option to connect your FirstGiving event with Eventbrite.
Select the corresponding radio button and click “Connect to Eventbrite”.

10. A popup window will appear prompting you to
grant FirstGiving access to your Eventbrite account.
Select “Allow” to continue.

11. Once FirstGiving has access to your Eventbrite event, you will be prompted to select
an event to connect from your list of Live Eventbrite events.
Select the corresponding event by clicking on the event name in the popup window.

12. Be sure you select the checkbox that says “Ask ticket holders to create a page”.
This prompts your event attendees to fundraise for you when they purchase tickets
or register for your event!

13. YOUR WORK IS DONE!
Now three things will happen…

14. First thing…
Donors and fundraisers that visit your FirstGiving page will see your new event.

15. With the Eventbrite connection, when they visit the event page, your fundraisers and
donors can register or purchase tickets for the event immediately!

16. Second thing…
Event attendees that purchase a ticket or register directly through your Eventbrite
page will be prompted to fundraise at the end of their transaction.

17. When attendees click the “Fundraise Now” button from the Eventbrite site, they will
be redirected to FirstGiving and will see the following message prompting them to
create a fundraising page for your event.

18. Third…
Your event is a HUGE success and you are celebrated
as the event planning rock star that you are!
