Today we were shown once again that the crowdfunding industry will likely never cease to amaze us. We received an inquiry today through our contact page calling our attention to a Crowdfunding Platform who’s site has been online for 12 years and have processed over $40 million in transactions but somehow we had never heard of them. Likely you may not have either. This led us to jumping on the site, where we were compelled to write and post a review immediately (as all too many crowdfunding service providers know, reviews requested are often not posted for a minimum of two weeks) but with this new information we felt we had to bring this crowdfunding platform to our readers attention immediately.
MyEvent.com does indeed have an 11 year history online, although their entrance in to the crowdfunding space is relatively new, we are going out on a limb and guaranteeing their success. This stems from not only their history of successful online offerings but some product differentiation that truly sets them apart from many of the players in the marketplace.
There are many features we could cover but the first (and most impressive) that jumps out at us is the fact that MyEvent.com offers its own payment processing. Not only offering users substantially lower fees BUT allowing donors to avoid using PayPal or WePay if so inclined. This brings their administration and payment processing to amongst the lowest in the industry.
Another key feature offered is the ability (for a minimal monthly fee) to offer ticket sales, online auctions, sponsor pages and (our personal favorite) your OWN DOMAIN NAME. We have long stated that if crowdfunding project creators are marketing and driving traffic to a project, they should control the domain that they are sending that traffic to – Problem solved!
Here are some additional notes we received from MyEvent.com:
“What makes us the best online fundraising company is that one
does not need a pay pal account or other merchant account to accept
donations. They can sign up in under a minute and accept payments
instantly for free (our basic package has no fees). (a total of 5% includes payment processing – compared to
industry ranges from 5%-9% + pay pal 2.9%)”
“Our premium packages allow participants in events (walkathons, runs, etc…)
to each get their own personal fundraising pages and there is an online auction.
We also allow people to sell tickets online for fundraising events. We also have
hundreds of design themes for so many different causes and all packages have
social media integration.”
“We have been online for 12 years and we have customer support 7 days a week.”
Pretty excited to recommend MyEvent.com to our reader interested in personal fundraising, group fundraising, fundraising event, Sports fundraising, School fundraising or nearly any other event where funds need to be raised.
Don’t forget the ability MyEvent has regarding online Charity auctions and Event ticket sales!

[…] MyEvent has been online for 12 years and processed over $20 million in transactions. This Crowdfunding platform offers more then most at a lower cost. […]
I had very bad experience with this company. I was collecting donation money for a little girl that is not from the USA. However, after several large donations my account was suspended and money was returned to donors. As I understood some of the transactions were fraudulent,someone was using other people’s credit cards to donate. The company has decided that this donation request was risky and most likely not real. Needless to say, I was not notified prior to closing the account and donations that were real were lost. I was never able to reach out people who honestly wanted to donate nor to contact them in order to offer explanation. My name and credibility was put in danger and I had to fight to get any feedback from company.
