How Do I Support or Start a Fundraiser on Hootinanny?

At Hootinanny, we're proud to help support local fundraisers that matter to you. Whether you're organizing a benefit dinner, selling donated items, or just want to give, we make it easy.

Supporting a Fundraiser

You can support a fundraiser by purchasing products listed in the Fundraiser category.

Here's how:

1. Go to Support Local Causes
2. Browse active fundraisers
3. Purchase tickets, goods, or services that support the cause

100% of your payment goes directly to the seller or cause organizer (minus standard platform/processing fees).

Donating Items to a Fundraiser

Have something you want to donate to a fundraiser?

• Contact the fundraiser organizer directly
• They can list the item under their store
• Funds from that sale will go toward the cause

Starting a Fundraiser

Want to raise money for a person or cause?

Steps:

1. Create a Vendor Account — it’s 100% free
2. Set up your storefront (we can help!)
3. List items under the Fundraiser category
4. Share your fundraiser page with your community

Examples:

• Selling dinner tickets for a benefit event
• Posting donated items to raise funds
• Offering services (like yardwork) to help a family in need

Be sure to select "Fundraiser" as your category when listing products. This ensures your items show up on the Support Local Causes page.

No Extra Fees

There are no additional fundraising fees. Just the same 4% impact fee (plus Stripe processing) as regular listings.

We don’t take more when you’re doing good. Ever.
