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.
