Keep More of What Your
    Supporters Give

    Last Ask lets your supporters help cover event costs — and 100% of every contribution goes to your organization, not the software company.

    How Last Ask works

    1. 1. You choose the suggested amounts

      Set the suggested percentage levels your supporters will see — or turn Last Ask off entirely. It's your call.

    2. 2. Supporters choose what works for them

      At checkout, each supporter can select one of your suggested percentages, enter a different amount, or opt out.

    3. 3. Your organization keeps 100%

      Every Last Ask contribution goes to your organization to help cover event costs. Once your expenses are covered, the rest goes to your general fund.


    Last Ask vs. traditional platform tipping

    Asking supporters to help cover costs is fine. Handing those contributions to the software company is not. Here's the difference:


    Other platforms' tipping model SchoolAuction.net's Last Ask
    Tips go to the software company 100% goes to your organization
    Tips aren't tax-deductible for your donors Contributions are tax-deductible for your donors
    The platform controls the suggested amount You choose the suggested percentages
    Tips may not support your mission Contributions help cover your event costs and support your cause
    Donors may not realize who receives the money Clear, transparent checkout language

    What your supporters see

    At checkout, supporters see the suggested percentages you chose, a field to enter their own amount, and a way to opt out — with clear language showing the contribution supports your cause, not a software company.

    No confusion about where the money goes. No pressure. Just a simple, transparent ask.

    It adds up

    If 150 supporters each add an average of $15, your organization keeps an additional $2,250.

    (Illustration only — your results depend on your event, your supporters, and the amounts you suggest.)

    Supporters stay in control — and so do you

    Last Ask is designed to be respectful and transparent. Every supporter can select a suggested percentage, enter their own amount, or opt out completely — no one is ever locked into contributing.


    And you decide whether Last Ask is enabled for your event at all, and what the suggested amounts should be. You're always in the driver's seat.
