In addition to selling entry tickets, you can also collect donations through your event page. Donations are optional amounts a buyer can add to their order and are paid directly to you as the host, allowing you to fundraise for the cause you support.
How do donations work on Humanitix?
Donations collected through your event are paid to you in a lump sum with your ticket sales to your nominated bank account. Humanitix cannot split these payments and it is your responsibility to direct funds to your chosen organisation.
The donations you collect may also be tax-deductible. If this is the case you can issue tax-deductible receipts from our platform to your donors.
>> See the full guide on how to automatically issue tax-deductible receipts
IMPORTANT: Humanitix cannot advise whether the donations you collect are tax-deductible.
