What Wizathon is
Wizathon is a web platform and service for nonprofit peer-to-peer fundraising around running, biking, walking, and swimming events. It provides event websites, registration, personal and team fundraising pages, and reporting. Organizations can set ticket prices, participant goals, and survey questions, enable team registration, and count registration fees toward fundraising goals. Participants and team captains personalize pages with photos and cause information, then share through Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, or email. Timed matching campaigns can run for 24–48 hours, with reports covering funds raised and donor statistics. Donor information can be exported for CRM import. Branding supports organization logos and colors, customized registration text, notifications, receipts, and welcome emails. Included features list premium support, a branded website, registration, fundraising tools, reporting, segmented email blasts, and a content management system. Stripe processes card transactions; Wizathon says card details are encrypted in transit and not stored on its website. The first-time setup fee is 495.00 USD, with additional listed transaction, reset, and check-entry fees.
