Frequently asked questions

What is a charity event timer?

A charity event timer helps coordinate fundraising segments, pledge drives, donor matches, auctions, speaker slots, livestream moments, breaks, and closing calls to action.

Can this be used for a pledge drive?

Yes. The pledge drive preset includes goal explanation, a pledge window, and a final call.

Should a fundraising countdown be public?

Public countdowns can work well when the deadline is real and clearly explained. Internal production timers should stay staff-facing.
